  • DC gain enhancement for operational amplifiers
    Patent number: 6300833
    Abstract: A self compensating operational amplifier (10) including a differential amplifier input stage (18) and a current mirror (24) having an input and an output coupled to the respective outputs (20, 22) of the differential amplifier input stage is provided that uses a feedback amplifier (28) which senses any voltages differences between the input and outputs of the current mirror as current is sourced or sank at the output (32) of the operational amplifier. The feedback amplifier produces a feedback current to the input side (20) of the current mirror wherein the voltage at the input side of the current mirror tracks the voltage swing at the output side of the current mirror so that the voltages track and are substantially matched.
