High linearity push-pull common-gate amplifier

An amplifier operates to provide a high output impedance at an output through a push stage having a first transistor of a first transistor type and a pull stage having a second transistor of a second transistor type that is different from the first transistor type. The first transistor and the second transistor are coupled in a common-gate configuration. The first transistor and the second transistor are shorted together via a capacitor coupled to an input and share a common current path as a push-pull current-reusing common-gate low noise amplifier with a broadband input matching.

12542562 · 2026-02-03 · ·

An input buffer for an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, is provided. The input buffer is configured for receiving an input signal (V.sub.in) and for outputting an output signal (V.sub.out), and comprises an nMOS transistor and pMOS transistor. The nMOS transistor and the pMOS transistor are arranged in a push-pull configuration such that the input signal is fed to gates of the nMOS transistor and the pMOS transistor and the output signal is taken from sources of the nMOS and the pMOS transistors. The input buffer comprises a first varactor connected between a gate of the nMOS transistor and a first biasing voltage potential (V.sub.21), and a second varactor connected between a gate of the pMOS transistor and a second biasing voltage potential (V.sub.22), which are configured to reduce a signal amplitude dependency of a capacitance of the input buffer.
