  • Abstract
    A novel design-oriented approach for Miller compensation exploiting current buffer/amplifiers is described. The analysis enables a simple design procedure to be outlined, which is in turn applied to a two-stage CMOS OTA driving a large capacitive load. Assuming a 100-pF load, three example compensation networks were designed using alternatively a compensation capacitor as low as 1.3 pF, 0.6 pF and 250 fF. Simulations in very good agreement with theoretical results are also given.
