Abstract:
An output stage of an integrated class-A amplifier in a technology adapted to a first voltage and intended to be powered by a second voltage greater than the first one, including: one or several transistors of a first channel type between a first terminal of application of the second voltage and an output terminal of the stage; transistors of a second channel type between this output terminal and a second terminal of application of the second voltage, wherein: a first transistor of the second channel type has its gate directly connected to an input terminal of the stage; at least a second and a third transistors of the second channel type are in series between the output terminal and said first transistor, the gate of the second transistor being connected to the midpoint of a resistive dividing bridge between said output terminal and the gate of the third transistor, and the gate of the third transistor being biased to a fixed voltage.
