An amplifier with an output protection having an input stage defining a feedback node, an output stage connected to the feedback node and defining an output node supplying an output voltage, and a feedback stage connected between the output and the feedback nodes. A mirror stage is connected to the feedback node and has the same structure as the output stage, the mirror stage defining a reference node connected to the feedback stage for generating a reference voltage to be compared to the output voltage by the feedback stage. The feedback stage generates a current limitation signal fed to the feedback node when a difference between the output and the reference voltages is higher than a threshold.
