Abstract

See full text

A load current compensating output buffer circuit and method are disclosed. The circuit includes a buffer amplifier coupled to a supply voltage and the inverting input receives an input voltage and the non-inverting input couples to an output capacitive load. A feedback impedance with a variable resistance circuit and a Miller capacitance in series is coupled to an output of the buffer amplifier and the capacitive load. A pass transistor couples to the supply voltage and the output capacitive load, the pass transistor having a gate terminal coupled to the output of the output buffer amplifier and the feedback impedance, a load current passing through the pass transistor. A sense circuit is configured to sense the load current and apply a control voltage to the variable resistance circuit to vary the resistance of the variable resistance circuit based on the load current.
