Abstract
An operational amplifier achieves higher operating speed by using an all NPN transistor output drive stage. A control circuit in output drive stage receives an input signal and providing first and second control signals. The first and second control signals in turn drive first and second NPN output drive transistors arranged in a totem pole configuration between first and second power supply conductors.
