A differential amplifier may include a first stage including a first transistor and a second transistor having the same polarity and assembled to constitute a differential amplifier. The first stage may be supplied by first and second mirror current sources. The differential amplifier may further include a common mode control circuit, which may include two inputs receiving a reference voltage VCM and a common mode voltage controlling the first and second mirror current sources, respectively. The differential amplifier may further include a Miller gain stage having inputs and for a setting gain-band product. The differential amplifier may further include an unlocking circuit, inserted between the common mode voltage and the Miller gain stage inputs, to cause the Miller gain stage to conduct on circuit start-up.
A differential amplifier having two input electrodes (E1, E2), two output electrodes (O1, O2) and comprising:
