Abstract

The present invention relates to an operational amplifier, including: a symmetrical differential amplifier; a local common mode feedback circuit coupled to the symmetrical differential amplifier; a tail current source circuit including at least one first transistor and a second transistor and a current source resistor. The tail current source circuit is configured to adjust a control voltage of the first transistor by using the second transistor such that a predetermined reference current flows through a load path of the first transistor.
