The invention relates to an operational amplifier comprising a first transistor amplifier stage at an input of the operational amplifier, which first transistor amplifier stage comprises chopped transistors, a second transistor amplifier stage cascoded to the first transistor amplifier stage, which second transistor amplifier stage is connected between the chopped first transistor amplifier stage and a supply voltage source, wherein the gain at the output of the chopped first transistor amplifier stage is reduced to gm1,2/gm3,4, where gm1,2*Rc is the gain of the first transistor amplifier stage, gm3,42*Rc is the gain of the second transistor amplifier stage and Rc is the resistance of the resistor between an output of the operational amplifier and the supply voltage source. An operational amplifier circuit comprises a main operational amplifier as specified above and feedback loops including capacitors between the inputs and outputs of the operational amplifier to form an integrator circuit or a filter circuit.
