Abstract:
An amplifier includes a differential amplifier and a compensator. A differential amplifier includes a current source and paired transistors. The paired transistors generate an output signal by dividing a source current supplied by the current source into emitter currents of the paired transistors in response to a difference between an input signal and a reference signal. A compensator includes an amplifying transistor and a feedback circuit that feeds a collector current output from a collector of the amplifying transistor back to a base of the amplifying transistor therethrough. The compensator generates the reference signal at a base of the amplifying transistor. The compensator decreases power consumption of the amplifying transistor when the collector current increases, and increases the power consumption of the amplifying transistor when the collector current decreases. The compensator suppresses a peaking of gain in a low frequency band.
