Abstract:
The main task of this research is to design and simulate single-ended output folded
cascode CMOS op amp by using OrCAD PSPICE Design and Simulation software
based on analog and digital electronic devices and advanced integrated circuit design fundamentals. It involves three basic concepts, theoretical calculation, design,
and simulation verification using OrCAD PSPICE software. The single-ended output
folded cascode CMOS op amp was analyzed by considering the effects of aspect ratios on the characteristics of the design parameters such as, nodal analysis, DC sweep
(node voltage, node current, PD), transient analysis (Input/Output Voltage Swing
and Slew Rate) and AC Sweep (DC open loop gain, UGB, CMRR). The simulation
results show that the design of the single-ended output folded cascode CMOS op
amp has an open loop gain of 54.013dB, CMRR of 52.138dB, unity gain frequency
of 14.032MHz, slew rate of 2.081V/µs, and ICMR of 516.000mV to 517.000V. A 5pF
load capacitor is applied in performing a stable phase margin of 67.3360
. It operates
at 2.5V power supply with a very low power dissipation of 0.035379mW
