Abstract:
Due to the problem associated with device power dissipation, the demand for low
power devices is increasing at a faster rate as a result of wider implementation of
smaller-sized, portable, and hand held devices in the telecommunication and enter-
tainment industries.In this thesis work, two stage CMOS op-amp technologies has
been designed and simulations in order to achieve high open loop gain and low power
dissipation. We have designed and compared some of the important performance
parameters of the two stage CMOS op-amp, which operates at 1.8V power supply
using L= 0.2 m, 0.25 m, 0.3 m, and 0.35 m CMOS technologies. The simulations
were done using OrCAD PSPICE software and we have found that the design with L
= 0.2 m has the most optimal performance parameters with highest open loop gain
of 144.66dB, widest ICMR of -1.774V to 1.154V, lowest PD of 0.019mW, moderate
UGB and PM of 4.1MHz and 104.3o, respectively. Thus, this design will be highly
capable candidate for portable and hand-held CMOS op-amp devices.
