ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns differential amplifiers for computer disc drives, implemented in Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) technology. The amplifiers are of the controllable-gain type. Gain is controlled by adjusting the channel current which passes through the differential Field-Effect Transistors (FETs) of the amplifier. The channel current can be viewed as having a constant component, to which is added an adjustment component. The adjustment component does not pass through the active loads of the differential amplifier, thereby allowing a larger change in gain to be attained.
