Abstract :
This paper presents a CMOS buffer amplifier which achieves significant improvements in linearity and drive capability over previously reported "high swing" amplifiers /1-4/. The buffer operates from a 5 volt supply, is capable of rail to rail operation at both the input and output, and exhibits a remarkably high linearity of ·05% THD while driving 3 volts p-p into 100 ohms at 20 kHz.
