Zusammenfassung:At least some embodiments are directed to a system that comprises a differential input transistor pair (DITP) comprising first and second transistors, a first feedback loop coupled to the first transistor, and a second feedback loop coupled to the second transistor. When a differential voltage applied to the input stage is within a first range, the first and second feedback loops control a tail current supplied to the DITP, where the tail current at least partially determines a transconductance of the DITP. When the differential voltage is within a second range, the transconductance of the DITP is at least partially determined by a first resistor in the first feedback loop or by a second resistor in the second feedback loop.
