Where does a differential pair appear in an operational amplifier?

  • A.As the bias reference
  • B.As the input stage
  • C.As the output stage
  • D.As the compensation network

Answer: B

The pair is the input stage, supplying the two inputs, the high rejection and much of the gain. The output stage is a class AB follower, compensation is a capacitor around the second stage, and the bias reference is a current mirror network. Knowing which internal stage supplies which external specification is what lets a data sheet be read as a description of a circuit rather than a list of numbers.
