A first embodiment is directed to a circuit including a positive biasing circuit with a drive PMOS for biasing in subthreshold, a negative biasing circuit with a drive NMOS for biasing in subthreshold, and an amplification circuit coupled to the biasing circuits. The amplification circuit includes a first stage with a first boosting stage, a second stage with a second boosting stage, and a resistive element coupled between the first and second stages. A second embodiment is directed to a folded cascode operational amplifier wherein a value of the resistive element is selected to place at least one of a drive MOS in subthreshold. A third embodiment is directed to an integrated circuit with a resistive area neighboring a first boosting area and a second boosting area, the resistive area including a resistive element directly connected to a drive PMOS and a drive NMOS.
