A high-speed buffer amplifier includes an input stage including a first channel coupled to receive differential inputs and a second channel coupled to receive the differential inputs; a middle stage including a first current source coupled to receive outputs of the second channel and electrically connected to power, a second current source coupled to receive outputs of the first channel and electrically connected to ground, and a floating current source electrically connected between the first current source and the second current source; and an output stage coupled to the middle stage to generate an output voltage. A shunt circuit is electrically connected between the first current source and the second current source, and configured to bypass the floating current source.
