Explore the circuit

Select a stage to see its role and connections

Bipolar differential pair

The input pair senses a small voltage difference and draws finite input bias current.

Gain and compensation

Internal voltage gain is frequency-compensated to support ordinary feedback configurations.

Drive the load

The output stage supplies the load within its voltage, current and thermal limits.
