Abstract

An apparatus for amplifying differential signals is provided. The apparatus comprises a differential amplifier, a first impedance component, a second impedance component, a voltage source and a high-pass filter. The differential amplifier receives an input differential signal with a first terminal and a second terminal. The differential amplifier also drains currents from the voltage source into a third terminal and a fourth terminal via the first and the second impedance components respectively. The high-pass filter receives the input differential signal and outputs a control differential signal to control the first and the second impedance components so that the impedance of the first and the second impedance components vary inversely in response to the voltages at the first and the second terminals respectively when the state of the input differential signal changes.
