Abstract
An amplifier including an input stage having two inputs, each input being connected to the control terminals of first and second transistors, a current output of the first transistor being connected to a first terminal of a resistor and to a reference supply rail via a variable current source having a value capable of automatically varying according to the voltage applied between said amplifier inputs up to a limiting value, and a current output of the second transistor being connected to the reference supply rail via a fixed current source and to the second terminal of the resistor.
