Abstract

See full text

A wideband highly-linear buffer circuit exhibiting a low output impedance comprises a first PFET (PFET1), a second PFET (PFET2), a first NFET (NFET1), and a second NFET (NFET2). Sources of PFET1 and PFET2 are coupled to VDD. PFET1's drain is coupled to an output lead. PFET2 acts as a current source. NFET1's drain is coupled to PFET2's drain and to PFET1's gate. NFET1's source is coupled to the output lead. NFET2's source is coupled to ground. NFET2's drain is coupled to NFET1's source and to the output lead. NFET1's gate is AC coupled to a first input lead. In a single-ended input example, NFET2's gate is AC coupled NFET1's drain. In a differential input example, NFET2's gate is AC coupled to a second input lead. In another differential input example, PFET2 is not just a current source, but rather PFET2's gate is AC coupled to the first input lead.
