composed of Q1 to Q7. The second gain stage is composed of Q16 and Q17 with Q13B acting as active load. The class AB output stage is formed
by Q14 and Q20 with biasing devices Q13A, Q18, and Q19, and an input buffer Q23. Transistors Q15, Q21, Q24, and Q22 serve to protect the amplifier
against output short circuits and are normally cut off.
