Abstract
A power amplifier device is disclosed, comprising a differential amplifier with determined transconductance followed by an intermediate amplification stage with a compensation capacitor between its output and its input and a push-pull output amplifier under low output impedance, for which the common point of connection between an upper stage and a lower stage gives an output of the device. A feedback loop between the output and the differential amplifier is provided in order to temporarily increase the transconductance of the differential amplifier at the passage of the conduction from one stage to the other stage of the push-pull amplifier.
