Circuit Description
The LT6220/LT6221/LT6222 have an input and output
signal range that covers from the negative power supply to
the positive power supply. Figure 1 depicts a simplified
schematic of the amplifier. The input stage comprises two
differential amplifiers, a PNP stage, Q1/Q2, and an NPN
stage, Q3/Q4, that are active over different ranges of
common mode input voltage. The PNP stage is active
between the negative supply to approximately 1.2V below
the positive supply. As the input voltage moves closer
toward the positive supply, the transistor Q5 will steer the

NPN differential pair and the PNP pair becomes inactive
for the rest of the input common mode range up to the
positive supply. Also, at the input stage, devices Q17 to
Q19 act to cancel the bias current of the PNP input pair.
When Q1/Q2 are active, the current in Q16 is controlled to
be the same as the current Q1/Q2. Thus, the base current
of Q16 is nominally equal to the base current of the input
devices. The base current of Q16 is then mirrored by
devices Q17-Q19 to cancel the base current of the input
devices Q1/Q2.
