چکیده

A design strategy for minimizing a feedback amplifier’s step-response settling time is introduced. Central to this approach is the clear identification of the independent design parameters characterizing the amplifier and the introduction of a figure of merit for assessing the settling performance of an amplifier that is independent of power, supply voltage and capacitive loading. With this approach, the settling performance of a given amplifier architecture can be optimized and the relative performance of different amplifier architectures can be assessed. Emphasis in this paper is on the twostage operational amplifier architecture but the technique readily extends to other widely used operational amplifier structures.

Fast-Settling Amplifier Design Using Feedforward Compensation Technique

A new feedforward compensation amplifier architecture that provides very fast settling performance is introduced. The additional feedforward path introduces zeros in the open-loop transfer function which can be used to shape the overall frequency response. It is shown that a second-order bandpass feedforward path is useful for extending the unitygain-frequency of the overall amplifier. By choos...

Amplifier Structure for High Gain and Fast Settling Applications

High gain amplifiers with fast settling times are needed for high-speed data converter applications. A cascaded amplifier architecture is discussed that can make use of several architecturally identical amplifies to achieve the desired gain. Only one of the amplifiers has a gainbandwidth product requirement that is modestly higher than the rest to keep the overall structure stable in the presen...

Design of Three-Stage Nested-Miller Compensated Operational Amplifiers Based on Settling Time

Settling performance of operational amplifiers (opamps) is of great importance in analog signal-processing applications. Among different architectures, three-stage amplifiers are gaining more attention between analog circuit designers of modern technologies with small supply voltages where few devices can be stacked. Previous attempts to design and optimize a three-stage opamp based on settling...

A Gain-Boosted 90-dB Dynamic Range Fast Settling OTA with 7.8-mW Power Consumption

Abstract A fully differential high-dynamic range operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) to be used in switchedcapacitor filters and/or over-sampled A/D converters is presented. The architecture chosen for this design is folded cascode with fully differential gain boosting. It is demonstrated through the design analysis and HSPICE simulation that such a structure realizes the best trade-of...

A new compensation technique for two-stage CMOS operational transconductance amplifiers

This paper presents a new compensation method for fully differential two-stage CMOS operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). It employs a hybrid cascode compensation scheme, merged Ahuja and improved Ahuja style compensations, for fast settling. A design procedure for minimum settling time of the proposed compensation technique for a two-stage class A/AB OTA is described. To demonstrate ...
