An exemplary amplifier circuit includes a first group of spatially
distributed final amplifier stages having a first configuration, and a
second group of spatially distributed final amplifier stages having a
second configuration different than the first configuration. Both groups
share the same control node for their respective final amplifier stages,
and both groups share the same amplifier output node. Each group is
typically enabled at a time that the other is disabled. In certain
embodiments incorporating a memory array, only one critical analog node
must be routed throughout the memory array.
