Technology鈥檚 proprietary complementary bipolar process,
which ensures very similar DC and AC characteristics for
the output devices Q12 and Q13.
First, looking at the input stage, Q5 switches the current
from current source I
1
between the two input stages.
When the input common mode voltage V
CM
is near the
negative supply, Q5 is reverse biased, so the current from
I
1
becomes the tail current for the PNP differential pair
Q1-Q2. At the other extreme, when V
CM
is near the positive
supply, the PNPs Q1-Q2 are biased off. The current from
Q13
