opamp design
Dec 10th, 2013, 4:51am
 
HI all,

In the application of the opamp, see fig1 ,there will a pole in net A because of the input resistor R1 and input capacitance Cp.

Therefore, in my design of a opamp, I want to minimize the  input capacitance of the opamp.what I want  to ask is how to minimize it ?
does the circuit in the fig2 plot work?(for minimize the miller effect  Cgd of M1 &M2 for using the M3 &M4 )

Hi,


the impedance you are trying to minimize is already small without M3 and M4.

You can minimize the input capacitance simply by reducing the device size of the differential pair.  This requires reducing the tail current source and/or increase of the over drive voltage of the differential pair.

A problem with your circuit is that the high gain of the opamp is spoiled by the resistance of the feedback.  You probably want to use a two-stage opamp to isolate the cascode of the folded cascode opamp from the resistive load.

The drains of M1-M2 differential pair already see a 1/gm impedance, not sure how much you can gain by additional cascoding.
