Abstract:
A method may include applying an input differential voltage to input terminals of an amplifier, a first input terminal coupled to a gate of a first transistor and a second input terminal coupled to a gate of a second transistor. The method may also include varying a gain of the amplifier by varying at least one of: a resistance of a first resistor, the first resistor coupled between a source of the first transistor and a source of the second transistor; and a resistance of a second resistor, the second resistor coupled between a source of a third transistor and a source of a fourth transistor; wherein: the third transistor is coupled at its drain to the drain of the first transistor; and the fourth transistor is coupled at its drain to the drain of the second transistor and a gate of the third transistor and coupled at its gate to the drain of the third transistor.
