Abstract
In this paper we present a high-drive low-power BiCMOS buffer amplifier implemented in a 2 μm technology. The class-AB output stage incorporates stacked NPN and compound PMOS/NPN transistors in which the PMOS transistors operate below threshold. Quiescent current is 300μA using a ±2.5V supply. Total area is 0.165 mm2
