Hi,

I am going to design an opamp for band gap refernce circuit. I want to keep it in weak inversion and use gm over id.

1. I want my op amp (2 stage Miller OTA) gain to be high and low offset. Shall i consider the bandwidth of the opamp for PSRR.

2. In weak inversion gain is dictated by lambda or channel length. How should i choose W, gm and current. i want the opamp to dissipate as low current as possible.

3. In weak inversion gm/Id is constant. So i would like to bias it in the knee of gm/id vs normalised current since going much into subthreshold wont be helpful as it would increase device sizes. Once i select gm/I and normalised then how do I choose W?

Thanx

Hi Dan,
BGR will be used as refrence in  temperature sensor for RFID applications which requires for low power consumption. So, i want to keep it in weak inversion.

I want low offest in the opamp and so weak inversion. I think u have greater current mismatch but less offset in weak inversion.

What type of opamp is best suited for BGR? Is it two stage MIller with grounded capacitor?

Can u suggest me an opamp where Vdd noise directly appears at the output? This ensures Vgs of the PMOS will be Vdd noise resitant since both gate and source will have correlated noise.. in a typical BGR

I am taping out multiple experimental chips. I can take the risk!!!!

Thanks
