            Abstract : 
In this work, a new low voltage (1.2 V supply) op-amp, able to drive loading resistance as low as 500 Ω, with 2 V/μs slew rate and 380 ns settling time, is presented. The low voltage gain is 80 dB for 1 KΩ and 124 dB for 1 MΩ load. The gain bandwidth is 2.4 MHz. The power dissipation is 0.268 mW. The circuit, designed in a standard 0.5 μ technology, has rail-to-rail input and output stages and constant transconductance with the input common mode signal. Its performances have been obtained combining the topologies of a very efficient output stage and of the input and biasing stages of a CMOS integrated OTA, previously developed
