This is a simple amplifier in a typical bandgap circuit.


Who can tell me why there is a PMOS FET "ST1" in the middle of the circuit?

what is the useage of it?
Thanks!
 

I think it's negative FB at DC
It keeps the current through P49 constant.
And it helps to charge NLL, NLR capacitance

when in+/- exceeds input common mode, this PFET turns on to pull VOUT low.

Added after 25 seconds:
