  • Abstract
    A full custom design of a three-stage amplifier is described in this paper. A feedback transconductance stage and a feedforward stage combined with two Miller compensation capacitors are used for frequency compensation. The circuit is designed in 0.18μm CMOS process with a 1.8V supply voltage. When driving a 150pF capacitive load, the amplifier achieves over l00dB de gain, 2.24MHz gain- bandwidth product (GBW), 62° phase margin (PM), 1.2V/μs slew rate (SR) and 61μW power dissipation. Compared to conventional multistage amplifiers, this work provides improvement in both GBW and SR, and also shows a significant improvement in MHz·pF/mW performance.
