A CAD tool for automated bandwidth design of negative feedback amplifiers

Structured design has raised as an alternative to the traditional and design approach. In the structured design, the process starts by establishing the ideal solution, which obviously fulfills a set of specifications. Hereafter, the design procedure consists in achieving a series of modifications to the ideal solution until the specs are met. One of the key topics in the design of amplifiers is to reach a desired bandwidth (BW). This work focuses on the automation of BW design for negative feedback amplifiers through the synthesis of the nullor with active devices based on the guidelines provided by structured design
