Abstract:
A limiting amplifier and method are provided. In one implementation an apparatus includes a plurality of amplifier stages including a first amplifier stage and a last amplifier stage configured in a cascade arrangement, and a transconductance amplifier, wherein the first amplifier stage is configured to receive an input signal; the last amplifier stage outputs an output signal; the transconductance amplifier is configured receive a voltage signal from the last amplifier stage via a first resistor; and the transconductance amplifier is configured to output a current signal to an output node of the first amplifier stage via a second resistor in a negative feedback manner.
