Abstract

An amplifier circuit including an input amplifier, an output amplifier and a diode device is provided. The output amplifier includes a PMOSFET and an NMOSFET. The PMOSFET has a gate electrode serving as a first input end and a drain coupled to an output end. The NMOSFET has a gate electrode serving as a second input end and a drain coupled to the output end. The output amplifier outputs an output voltage at the output end, and is coupled to the input amplifier via at least one of the first and second input ends. The diode device is coupled between the output end and the at least one of the first and second input ends of the output amplifier. When a voltage difference between the output end and the at least one of the first and second input ends of the output amplifier is greater than a barrier voltage of the diode device, the diode device is turned on, and an overshoot of the output voltage is reduced.
