Abstract
A novel operational amplifier is disclosed which is divided into an input stage, a common mode feedback stage and an output stage. The output of the operational amplifier swings rail to rail, and the input may swing nearly rail to rail. The operational amplifier combines fast response with low power consumption and low supply voltage.
