Operational amplifier including low DC gain wideband feed forward circuit and high DC gain narrowband gain circuit

Abstract

In an operational amplifier including first and second power supply terminals, first and second input terminals, and a first and second output terminals, a first differential amplifier circuit includes first and second MOS transistors with a common source connected to a first tail current source, first and second load resistors and a first non-doped MOS transistor connected between the first and second resistors and the second power supply terminal. A second differential amplifier circuit includes third and fourth MOS transistors with a common source connected to a second tail current source, third and fourth load resistors and a second non-doped MOS transistor connected between the third and fourth load resistors and the second power supply terminal. A first output circuit includes a fifth MOS transistor with a gate connected to the drain of the second MOS transistor, and a sixth MOS transistor with a gate and a drain connected to the drain of the fifth MOS transistor, and a second output circuit includes a seventh MOS transistor with a gate connected to the drain of the first MOS transistor, and an eighth MOS transistor with a gate and a drain connected to the drain of the seventh MOS transistor. A first intermediate circuit is connected between the drain of the third MOS transistor and the gate of the sixth MOS transistor, and a second intermediate circuit is connected between the drain of the fourth MOS transistor and the gate of the eighth MOS transistor.
