Abstract
An operational amplifier integrated circuit includes a differential pair of transistors having a first input, a second input. A bias current generator applies a bias current to an output of the differential pair of transistors. A control loop generates a control voltage arising from a difference in potentials between the first input and the second input. An additional current that is added to the bias current is generated in response to the control voltage.
