Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007124895A1] An operational amplifier and use of an operational amplifier with a difference amplifier (A1, A2, A3, A4) which is linked to a first input (In<SUB>11</SUB>, In<SUB>12</SUB>, In<SUB>13</SUB>, In<SUB>14</SUB>) and to a second input (In<SUB>21</SUB> , In<SUB>22</SUB>, In<SUB>23</SUB>, In<SUB>24</SUB>), and with a differential output stage (D1, D2, D3, D4) which is linked to the difference amplifier (A1, A2, A3, A4) and to a first output (O<SUB>21</SUB>, O<SUB>22</SUB>, O<SUB>23</SUB>, O<SUB>24</SUB>) and a second output (O<SUB>11</SUB>, O<SUB>12</SUB>, O<SUB>13</SUB>, O<SUB>14</SUB>), in which the differential output stage (D1, D2, D3, D4) has a first branch with two first transistors ([M<SUB>P211</SUB>, M<SUB>N211</SUB>], [M<SUB>P221</SUB>, M<SUB>N221</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P231</SUB>, Q<SUB>N231</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P241</SUB>, Q<SUB>N241</SUB>]), the drain and/or collector of which are linked to each other and to the first output (O<SUB>21</SUB>, O<SUB>22</SUB>, O<SUB>23</SUB>, O<SUB>24</SUB>), the differential output stage (D1, D2, D3, D4) has a second branch with two second transistors ([M<SUB>P212</SUB>, M<SUB>N212</SUB>], [M<SUB>P222</SUB>, M<SUB>N222</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P232</SUB>, Q<SUB>N232</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P242</SUB>, Q<SUB>N242</SUB>]), the drain and/or collector of which are linked to each other and to the second output (O<SUB>11</SUB>, O<SUB>12</SUB>, O<SUB>13</SUB>, O<SUB>14</SUB>), the first gates and/or the first bases of the two first transistors ([M<SUB>P211</SUB>, M<SUB>N211</SUB>], [M<SUB>P221</SUB>, M<SUB>N221</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P231</SUB>, Q<SUB>N231</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P241</SUB>, Q<SUB>N241</SUB>]) in the first branch are linked to each other and to a first output (O<SUB>D11</SUB>, O<SUB>D12</SUB>, O<SUB>D13</SUB>, O<SUB>D24</SUB>) of the difference amplifier (A1, A2, A3, A4), the second gates and/or the second bases of the two second transistors ([M<SUB>P212</SUB>, M<SUB>N212</SUB>], [M<SUB>P222</SUB>, M<SUB>N222</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P232</SUB>, Q<SUB>N232</SUB>], [Q<SUB>P242</SUB>, Q<SUB>N242</SUB>]) in the second branch are linked to each other and to a second output (O<SUB>D21</SUB>, O<SUB>D22</SUB>, O<SUB>D23</SUB>, O<SUB>D14</SUB>) of the difference amplifier (A1, A2, A3, A4), the differential output stage (D1, D2, D3, D4) has a constant-current source (CS<SUB>21</SUB>, CS<SUB>22</SUB>, CS<SUB>23</SUB>, CS<SUB>24</SUB>), which is linked to each branch in order to supply a current (I<SUB>21</SUB>, I<SUB>22</SUB>, I<SUB>23</SUB>, I<SUB>24</SUB>) through the branches.
