Abstract
An amplifier includes a first input branch and a second input branch that form a differential input stage and a current mirror connected to the differential input. The current mirror is governed as a function of a common mode feedback signal applied to a control node of the current mirror. A second, amplification, stage includes a branch flowing through which is a current, which is a function of the current that flows in the first input branch, and is in turn connected to a first output branch. A capacitive element is coupled between the control node and the second stage. The circuit is symmetrical with respect to the input stage.
