    Abstract: A voltage buffer and follower includes a single ended output, a source follower, and a current feedback loop. The current feedback loop is coupled to the source follower and to the single ended output. When two voltage followers are used in a differential configuration, the voltage followers can become part of a high bandwidth gain cell. The high bandwidth gain cell includes a first and a second source follower circuit that are coupled to the first and the second current feedback loops, respectively. The first and the second source follower circuits are further coupled to a first and a second current mirror circuit, respectively. The first and second current mirror circuits are coupled to a load, which is coupled to a common-mode feedback circuit. The common-mode feedback circuit controls a constant current source that sinks mirrored direct currents that flow through the first and the second current mirror circuits.
