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.

An amplifier includes an amplifying stage, a cascoded circuit, an input feed-forward circuit and an output stage. The amplifying stage is arranged receiving a differential input pair to generate an amplified differential input pair. The input feed-forward circuit is coupled to the cascoded circuit, and is arranged for feeding the differential input pair forward to the cascoded circuit. The output stage is coupled to the amplifying stage and the cascoded circuit, and is arranged for generating a differential output pair according to the amplified differential input pair and an output of the cascoded circuit.

The amplifier circuit includes a pair of differential input stages coupled to an output stage where both a selected input stage and an unselected input stage are active with one of either a differential input signal or a reference voltage. A switching network couples a first input differential signal to a first differential input stage and a reference voltage to a second differential input stage when an amplifier input signal is less than a threshold voltage. The switching circuit also couples the second input differential signal to the second differential input stage and the reference voltage to the first differential input stage when the amplifier input signal is greater than the threshold signal.
