Abstract :
A new family of high performance buffers is introduced. It is characterized by very low output impedance, wide signal range, wide bandwidth, and low power dissipation, no DC level shift between input and output terminals and class AB operation. The proposed circuits are validated with simulations in 0.5mum CMOS technology and with experimental results
