Abstract
In described examples, an amplifier can be arranged to generate a first stage output signal in response to an input signal. The input signal can be coupled to control a first current coupled from a first current source through a common node to generate the first stage output signal. A replica circuit can be arranged to generate a replica load signal in response to the input signal and in response to current received from the common node. A current switch can be arranged to selectively couple a second current from a second current source to the common node in response to the replica load signal.
