ABSTRACT:
An apparatus having means for amplifying a differential voltage signal. The means for amplifying includes at least an input stage and an output stage. The output stage includes means for preventing a trade off between a reduction in noise of an output voltage signal and an increase in a dynamic range of the output voltage signal.
