ABSTRACT:
A phase-inverting amplifier includes an input-stage FET, a load thereof and a gain control circuit. The gain control circuit is provided in parallel with the load, and reduces an effective load resistance to lower an open-loop gain of the phase-inverting amplifier when a current flowing through the load exceeds a predetermined value. The gain control circuit is typically a FET whose gate is biased at a constant voltage. A feedback resistor is provided in a negative feedback path of the phase-inverting amplifier. A bypass circuit is provided in parallel with the feedback resistor, and reduces an effective feedback resistance when a feedback quantity exceeds a predetermined value.
