| Zusammenfassung: | A buffer is described which includes two gain stages which may be constructed of MOS devices, the first stage having a low noise characteristic and the second stage having a high current drive capability. The second stage is switched in circuit only when high current drive is needed so that the buffer otherwise exhibits the low noise characteristics of the first stage. A feedback network is also switched in circuit in a manner that maintains the buffer's loop gain substantially constant, whether or not the high current drive stage is in circuit. |
