A class AB folded-cascode amplifier having improved gain-bandwidth product, comprises a differential input circuit including a differential transistor pair coupled to a source of tail current and responsive to a differential input signal for conducting a first current, a cascode circuit coupled to the differential input circuit for supplying a second current thereto, and a class AB output stage. A compensation circuit is configured for feeding back mutually complementary compensation signals from an output node to the differential input circuit. Another compensation circuit is configured for feeding back a signal from the output of the output stage to the input of the output stage.
