different portions of the input common mode range.
Lateral devices are used in both input stages, eliminating

is trimmed for offset voltage. A complementary output
configuration (Q23 through Q26) is employed to create an
output stage with rail-to-rail swing. The amplifier is fabri-
The LT1366 family differs from conventional op amps in
the design of both the input and output stages. Figure 1
shows a simplified schematic of the amplifier. The input
stage consists of two differential amplifiers, a PNP stage
Q1/Q2 and an NPN stage Q3/Q4, which are active over
