Figure 1 the output devices Q12 and Q13. shows a simplified schematic. The input stage consists of First, looking at the input stage, Q5 switches the current two differential amplifiers, a PNP stage Q1-Q2 and an NPN from current source I1 between the two input stages. stage Q3-Q4, that are active over different portions of the When the input common mode voltage VCM is near the input common mode range. Each input stage is trimmed negative supply, Q5 is reverse biased, so the current from for offset voltage. A complementary output configuration I1 becomes the tail current for the PNP differential pair (Q12-Q13) is employed to create an output stage with rail- Q1-Q2. At the other extreme, when VCM is near the positive to-rail swing. The devices are fabricated on Linear supply, the PNPs Q1-Q2 are biased off.
