Abstract

See full text

Described examples include multistage amplifier circuits having first and second forward circuits, a comparator or sensor circuit coupled to sense a signal in the second forward circuit to identify nonlinear operation or slewing conditions in the multistage amplifier circuit, and one or more sample hold circuits operative according to a sensor circuit output signal to selectively maintain the amplitude of an amplifier input signal in the second forward circuit and/or in a feedback circuit in response to the sensor circuit output signal indicating nonlinear operation or slewing conditions in the multistage amplifier circuit. Certain examples further include a clamping circuit operative to selectively maintain a voltage at a terminal of a Miller compensation capacitance responsive to the comparator output signal indicating nonlinear operation or slewing conditions.
