A signal processing circuit includes a circuit stage for operating on signals in a signal path of an input signal, including main circuitry for operating on relatively small-value signals and alternative circuitry for amplifying/processing signals during a condition which otherwise would cause thermal imbalance in the main circuitry. The circuit stage includes switching circuitry for coupling signals in the signal path of the input signal to the main input circuitry during normal small-signal operating conditions and for coupling signals in the signal path of the input signal to the alternative circuitry during the condition which otherwise would cause thermal imbalance in the main circuitry.
Signal processing circuitry comprising:
A method of reducing thermal imbalance in a signal processing circuit including a differential amplifier having an input stage for amplifying a signal in a path of a differential input signal, and an output stage coupled to the input stage for producing an output signal, the method comprising:
A method of providing a smooth transition between first and second control signal values, comprising:
