ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit amplifier suitable for use in driving capacitive loads, including a differential amplifier first stage, a third stage and at least one second stage intermediate the first and second stages. A dominant pole capacitor provides a direct negative feedback path between the amplifier output and the output of the first stage so as to tend to oppose any signals present at the output thereby reducing the open loop output impedance of the amplifier. In a preferred embodiment, an isolation resistor is coupled between the first output and a further output and a further compensating capacitor is coupled between the first output and an inverting input to the amplifier so as to produce a zero in the frequency response of the amplifier so as to compensate for any pole in the frequency response of the amplifier caused by any capacitive load connected to the further output.
