Abstract:
A bridge amplifier includes a first input node connectable to a power source having an input voltage, a second input node connectable to a control source having a control voltage, and a first and a second output node. A first amplifier module having a gain is coupled between the first and second input nodes and between the first and second output nodes, and a second amplifier module is coupled to the first input node and between the first and second output nodes. The first amplifier module compares a voltage differential between the first and second output nodes to the control voltage and provides an output voltage at the first output node necessary to maintain the voltage differential at a level substantially equal to a product of the control voltage multiplied by the gain. The second amplifier module compares a midpoint voltage level of the input voltage to a midpoint voltage level of the voltage differential and provides and output voltage at the second output node necessary to maintain the voltage differential midpoint level at a level substantially equal to the input voltage midpoint level.
