Abstract
A differential amplifier comprises a Darlington differential pair (T.sub.1 /T.sub.3, T.sub.2 /T.sub.4) and a cross-coupled transistor pair (T.sub.5, T.sub.6) to increase the transconductance of the Darlington differential pair (T.sub.1 /T.sub.3, T.sub.2 /T.sub.4). The negative input impedance of the differential amplifier as a result of the presence of the cross-coupled differential pair (T.sub.5, T.sub.6) is compensated for at high frequencies and the gain of the differential amplifier is reduced by a compensation circuit with a capacitor (30) between the control electrodes of the transistors of the cross-coupled differential pair (T.sub.5, T.sub.6) and with resistors (26, 28) in series with the control electrodes of the transistors of the cross-coupled differential pair (T.sub.5, T.sub.6).
