Claim One:
1. An amplifier comprising: a first MOS transistor having a gate terminal for receiving a first input signal, a first current carrying terminal coupled to a first output terminal of the amplifier and a second current carrying terminal; a second MOS transistor having a gate terminal for receiving a second input signal, a first current carrying terminal coupled to a second output terminal of the amplifier and a second current carrying terminal; a first resistive element having a first terminal coupled to the first output terminal of the amplifier and a second terminal coupled to a first voltage supply; a second resistive element having a first terminal coupled to the second output terminal of the amplifier and a second terminal coupled to the first voltage supply; a third MOS transistor having a gate terminal coupled to the second current carrying terminal of the second transistor, a first current carrying terminal coupled to the second current carrying terminal of the first transistor, and a second current carrying terminal coupled to a second voltage supply; and a fourth MOS transistor having a gate terminal coupled to the second current carrying terminal of the first transistor, a first current carrying terminal coupled to the second current carrying terminal of the second transistor, and a second current carrying terminal coupled to the second voltage supply; wherein said amplifier continuously amplifies without latching.
