Abstract text


An integrated circuit device may include an amplifier having an amplifier input configured to receive an input signal with the amplifier being configured to provide an amplifier output signal at an amplifier output responsive to the input signal received at the amplifier input. A capacitor may be coupled to the amplifier output, and a buffer may be coupled to the capacitor so that the capacitor is coupled in series between the amplifier output and an input of the buffer with an output of the buffer being coupled to a buffered signal terminal. A variable resistive feedback circuit may be coupled between the input and output of the buffer with the variable resistive feed back circuit providing a variable resistance between the input and output of the buffer. A feedback resistance controller may be coupled to the variable resistive feedback circuit with the feedback resistance controller being configured to select a first resistance for the variable resistive feedback circuit for a first frequency of the input signal and to select a second resistance for the variable resistive feedback circuit for a second frequency of the input signal different than the first frequency with the first and second resistances being different.
