Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9702653A1] An output stage (150) includes an input (152), an output (154), an error stage (156) coupled between the input and the output and responsive to a difference between an input signal present on the input and an output signal present on the output, the error stage being operative to generate a current control signal related to the difference between the input signal and the output signal, a current mirror (158) coupled to the error stage (156) and responsive to the current control signal to generate a demand driven current signal related to magnitude of the current control signal, and an amplification stage (160) coupled between the input and the output. Furthermore, the amplification stage is responsive to the input signal and to the demand driven current signal to generate the output signal on the output such that a voltage of the output signal is substantially equal to a voltage of the input signal.
