Figure 1 depicts a simplified positive supply. Also, at the input stage, devices Q17 to schematic of the amplifier. The input stage comprises Q19 act to cancel the bias current of the PNP input pair. two differential amplifiers, a PNP stage, Q1/Q2, and an When Q1/Q2 are active, the current in Q16 is controlled NPN stage, Q3/Q4, that are active over different ranges to be the same as the current Q1/Q2. Thus, the base cur- of common mode input voltage. The PNP stage is active rent of Q16 is nominally equal to the base current of the between the negative supply to approximately 1.2V below input devices. The base current of Q16 is then mirrored by the positive supply. As the input voltage moves closer devices Q17-Q19 to cancel the base current of the input toward the positive supply, the transistor Q5 will steer the devices Q1/Q2.
