I. INTRODUCTION
The designing of high performance analog integrated
circuits is becoming most essential with the continuous trend
towards the reduced supply voltages and transistor channel
length. MOS is most success among all because it can be
scaled down to smaller dimensions for higher performance.
The size can be reduced to micrometer or nanometer for getting
higher performance. On scaling down the Transistor size the
most important advantage is we can integrate more number of
transistor on the same size and we can get a faster amplifier
compared to previous one. This leads to continuous growth of
the processing capacity per chip and operating frequency.
In most of the electronics circuits the Operational
Amplifiers is the most common building blocks. So as the
transistor channel length and power supply is reduced then the
design of Op amps face continuous challenge. Due to different
aspect ratio (W/L), there is a tradeoff among speed, gain,
power and the other parameters. The purpose of the design
methodology in this paper is to propose accurate equations for
the design of high- gain 2 staged CMOS op-amp. For this, a
simple analysis with some meaningful parameters (such as gain
bandwidth, phase margin, etc.) is performed.
II. TWO STAGE OP-AMP DESIGN PROCEDURE
The first aspect considered in the design was to meet the
desired specifications. Based on a clear understanding of the
specifications, we have chosen the standard CMOS op-amp
circuit topology in our design.
