ABSTRACT
This research work is done with an aim to illustrate the design of high open loop
DC gain operational amplifiers showing relatively high open loop gain and high open
loop stability. So a standard open loop/DC gain of the designed operational-
amplifiers (op amps) of more than 75 Decibels (dB) is taken with the value of Phase
margin more than 60
0
but less than 90
0
. The Unity Gain Bandwidth (UGB) of the op
amp designed for the Capacitance to Voltage Convertor circuit should comprise a
value greater than 10MHz. After designing the operational amplifier (op amp) the
UGB value comes out to be 90 MHz (Mega Hertz) with the numerical of Phase
Margin (PM) equivalent to 71
0
and the excellent DC gain value equals 80.12 decibels
(dB). The operational amplifier worked with a reference or bias current of 12 uA. This
reference current is same as that of the DC current applied to the operational
amplifier. The operational amplifier is designed using the 180 nm technology. Further
the operational amplifier is implemented using the Miller Compensation technique
having two stages. High gain enables the operational amplifier to work efficiently and
the high bandwidth enables it to be able to work at higher speed application. The
whole design works on the +5V supply with the load Capacitance value 10pF and
compensation Capacitance value 2.4pF with excellent input linearity.
