Abstract:
An operational amplifier comprising a differential amplifier circuit, a reverse output buffer, a non-inverting terminal, an inverting terminal, a first bias voltage input terminal, and an output terminal, said differential amplifier comprising a plurality of semiconductor switches and being connected to said non-inverting terminal, said inverting terminal and said first bias voltage input terminal;said reverse output buffer comprising a first reverse switch and a first forward switch connected in series between a reference voltage and a grounding terminal, said output terminal being connected between said first reverse switch and said first forward switch, said first bias voltage input terminal being controlled to provide a bias voltage to said differential amplifier and said reverse output buffer to electrically connect said connect said first forward switch of said reverse output buffer; said reverse output buffer further comprising a second reverse switch connected in series between said reference voltage and said first reverse switch, and a second forward switch connected between said output terminal and said grounding terminal, said second reverse switch and said second forward switch being electrically connected by a bias voltage provided from a second bias voltage input terminal connected thereto so that when said second bias voltage input terminal is at low potential and said first bias voltage input terminal is at high potential, said second reverse switch is on, and said second forward switch is off, said operational amplifier will function; and when said second bias voltage input terminal is at high potential and said first bias voltage input terminal is at low potential, said second reverse switch is off, and said second forward switch is on, said operational amplifier will not work and will consume no electric current, and said output terminal providing a low potential output.
