Differential output stage of an amplification device, for driving a load

A differential output stage of an amplification device, for driving a load, comprises a first and a second differential output stage portion. The first differential output stage portion comprises: a first and a second output circuit; a first driving circuit comprising a first biasing circuit; a second driving circuit comprising a second biasing circuit. The first differential output stage portion comprises: a third output circuit connected between a first node of said first biasing circuit and a first differential output terminal, having a third driving terminal connected to a first driving terminal; a fourth output circuit connected between a first node of the second biasing circuit and the first differential output terminal, having a fourth driving terminal connected to a second driving terminal.

SCALEABLE RF TUNED LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER

A power-efficient neutralized signal amplifier for use in ultra-low power narrowband receiver applications. A neutralized signal amplifier having: an impedance transformation element coupled to an amplifier input and having a differential output; a gain cell, having a differential input and a differential output, the differential input coupled to the differential output of the impedance transformation element and the differential output coupled to the amplifier output; and a neutralization element coupled to the gain cell differential output and cross-coupled to the differential output of the impedance transformation element, where the coupling of the neutralization element to the differential output of the impedance transformation element provides that the input impedance of the neutralized signal amplifier is substantially determined by reflected resistive parasitics of the impedance transformation element.
