Abstract
In the case of amplifier circuits realised in modern MOS technology, non-linear distortion occurs as a result of the high field strengths in the channel region due to the small dimensions. This distortion is eliminated and noise is reduced in that the amplifier circuit comprises a first series combination of first and second MOS transistors, and a second series combination identical with the first series combination and forming a long tailed pair circuit with the latter. The long tailed pair circuit includes an additional differential amplifier having its output connected to the gate electrode of a load transistor of the long tailed pair circuit by way of a voltage divider. The transistors in the long tailed pair circuit are mutually identical.
