Help me finding component

Hey guys,

I am looking for a component placed in an amplifier circuit.
On the smd is written „CVV“. I checked several lookup tables but couldnt find something what would fit.
The component is a SOT-363 (SOT-236) and the measured connections are:
Pin 2 and 5 are shortend together (external) and connected via voltage divider to an opamp output. Pin 3 is +5V and Pin 6 is -5V.
My guess is that the component is used for saturation protection or maybe impedance correction.
Pin 4 and Pin 1 are connected via diodes to opamp input.
Other components on the pcb like diodes and transistors are all from fairchild or on semiconductor. So maybe this is the manufacture here as well.

Hey Markw4, thanks for your reply.
Yes maybe this is something. I have thought about it before.
But when I measure the component out of the pcb there are not that many diodes. I measure 1-2. cant remember at the moment. Maybe I have to measure again.
 
Hey Jan,

yes maybe a bit. What i didn‘t mentioned, there are diodes at the input of the opamp as well for overvoltage protection at the input (i think so, because it looks like a typical clamping circuit).
But I haven’t seen something else before where the output is feedbacked over diodes to the input. At this is what I don‘t understand.
