Abstract

An amplifier that accurately amplifies signals over a wide bandwidth, including DC, has a voltage-to-current converter, a feed-forward resistive element, a buffer, an input resistive element, a feedback resistive element, and an operational amplifier. A first end of the feed-forward resistive element is coupled to an output of the voltage-to-current converter and to an input of the buffer. A first end of the input resistive element is coupled to an input to the voltage-to-current converter. A first end of the feedback resistive element is coupled to an output of the buffer. An inverting input of the operational amplifier is coupled to a second end of the input resistive element and to a second end of the feedback resistive element. A noninverting input of the operational amplifier is coupled to ground, and an output of the operational amplifier is coupled to a second end of the feed-forward resistive element.
