Abstract

An integrator circuit (10) and a method for generating an output signal that is frequency compensated. The integrated circuit (10) includes an input stage (14) coupled to a transconductance amplifier (11) via a capacitor (13) and a compensation diode (12). The compensation diode (12) provides an impedance that negates an output impedance of the transconductance amplifier (11). The output signal of the integrator circuit (10) is determined by the capacitor (13).
