Abstract
An improved linear amplifier circuit includes controlled current sources connected to supply additional current to the output stage during rapid change of applied signal. The current sources are responsive to current levels in the input stages and thus need only conduct low levels of current during quiescent operating conditions. Symmetrical and asymmetrical circuit configurations with respect to reference potential are disclosed.
