The amplifier (200) includes an input stage (220) coupled to two output transistors (281, 282) having a common terminal at the output terminal (206) of the amplifier. Class AB operation of the output transistors (281, 282) is possible at a comparatively low supply voltage. In order to obtain such operation, measurement transistors (271, 272) are coupled to the same control input (283, 284) as the output transistors (281, 282). These measurement transistors (271, 272) are serially coupled to a current mirror (260). The quiescent current of the output transistors (281, 282) is measured and used to produce a feedback signal which is superimposed to the control signals.
