An operational amplifier, of a type which comprises a differential cell transconductor input stage (2) incorporating a current mirror (5) provided with a pair of degenerative resistors (R9,R10) and a gain stage (7), driven directly by a transistor (Q12) of said mirror (5), has each degenerative resistor (R9,R10) formed within an epitaxial well wherewith a parasitic diode (D1,D2) is associated. Each diode (D1,D2) is connected in parallel with its corresponding resistor (R9,R10) to prevent the transistor (Q12) which drives the gain stage (7) from becoming saturated.
