Abstract
A method and circuit for increasing the output impedance of an inactive amplifier is provided. The method and circuit allows an increased number of amplifiers to be coupled in parallel to a single transmission line for distributing a plurality of video or other electrical signals to a remote location. The method and circuit increasing the impedance of an amplifier feedback network during inactive operation using a bootstrapping technique (i.e., by driving the feedback network) so as to increase the overall impedance of the amplifier during such operation.
