Method for adaptive biasing of fully differential gain boosted operational amplifiers

A rate controller comprising:

• an input adaptation interface converting rate control input parameters of a target encoding standard to corresponding native control input parameters of the rate controller;
• a core rate controller coupled to the output of said input adaptation interface generating output parameters conforming to its native encoding standard;
• and
• an output adaptation interface coupled to the output of the core rate controller converting the generated output parameters to equivalent rate control output parameters conforming to the target encoding standard.
