A low noise, high gain-bandwidth preamplifier is formed which employs positive, capacitive feedback to compensate the frequency response of the amplifier for an applied input capacitance. The circuit includes a differential amplifier circuit with conventional resistive, negative feedback. The circuit further includes a pair of compensating capacitors coupled across the amplifier, providing positive feedback which compensates for an applied input capacitance. The preamplifier circuit provides a high gain-bandwidth along with enhanced noise performance.
