“…Power buffers are very useful in many analog integrated circuits, since they allow a direct link with the external world, without requiring any out-of-chip buffer [1] [2]. Particularly, high performance CMOS circuits such as high frequency filters, high conversion rate D/A converters, etc., find a larger field of application whenever they also include a power buffer as final stage.…”

A CMOS power buffer suitable for high frequency applications is discussed. The use of a high-speed push-pull output stage and a highly-linear common mode feedback allow good linearity to be maintained even with very high input frequencies. Indeed, Total Harmonic Distortions (THD) as good as -66 dB and -58 dB are achieved at 0.5 MHz and 1 MHz, respectively, with a load resistance of 75 Q. Moreover, the circuit provides a de gain of 62 dB and a gain-bandwidth product of 60 MHz. The integrated prototype, realized using a 1.2 \±m CMOS process, occupies a silicon area of 280 mils^.
