Abstract

An improved alternating current amplifier employs capacitive feedback to balance the intrinsic input capacitance, and a multiplier circuit responsive to a digital control signal coupled in the feedback path to vary the effective capacitance of the capacitive feedback. Thus, the frequency response of the amplifier may be adjusted and set digitally, such as under computer control, obviating the need to make manual adjustments to improve amplifier performance.
