Abstract
A current amplifier is used to realize a voltage amplifier having an improved high frequency response and slew rate capability. It is shown that the closed loop bandwidth is independent of the closed loop voltage gain. The design and application of a unity gain and a high gain current amplifier to voltage signal processing circuits are given. The results demonstrate an efficient use of the inherent frequency response capabilities of the active devices in the circuit to achieve the amplification of high frequency and large amplitude voltage signals.
