The standard design flow for two-stage amplifier design

The two-stage amplifier design has been well studied in past decades. Many high performance amplifiers have also been proposed by various researchers. However, it is hard to find a standard design flow for an amplifier. Hence, in this paper, we propose a standard flow to design a two-stage amplifier. By applying the standard design flow, an analog circuit designer can speed up the whole design procedure. It also can make the procedure of designing an amplifier more efficient. A conventional two-stage amplifier has been applied to demonstrate the proposed standard design flow. The simulation results have been verified using a standard 0.35-μm CMOS process technology.
