Abstract:
Due to the problem associated with device power dissipation, the demand for high
DC open loop gain, and wide input common mode range of voltage. CMOS circuit
device is increasing at a faster rate because of a wider implementation of smaller sized,
portable, and hand held devices in the telecommunication and entertainment industries.
In this thesis work, the di erential input/di erential output CMOS op-amp circuit
has been designed and simulations were carried out to investigate the e ect of load
capacitance DC open loop gain and ICMR. We have designed four di erent di erential
input/di erential output CMOS op-amp circuits with C
= 1pF; 2pF; 5pF and 10pF
and compared some of the important performance parameters: DC open loop gain
and ICMR (also, power dissipation and UGB), which operates at 2.5V power supply
using with 0.2 m CMOS technologies. The simulations were done using OrCAD
PSPICE software and we have found that the design with C
L
= 2pF has the highest
DC open loop gain of 140dB, ICMR of -1.862V to 2.477V, UGB of 6.45MHz and minimum
PD of 0.0341mW. respectively. Thus, larger values of load capacitance were
found to decrease the DC open loop gain and some what the ICMR.
