Synopsis

Many interesting design trends are shown by the six papers on operational amplifiers (Op Amps). Firstly. there is the line of stand-alone Op Amps using a bipolar IC technology which combines high-frequency and high voltage. This line is represented in papers by Bill Gross and Derek Bowers. Bill Gross shows an improved high-frequency compensation technique of a high quality three stage Op Amp. Derek Bowers improves the gain and frequency behaviour of the stages of a two-stage Op Amp. Both papers also present trends in current-mode feedback Op Amps. Low-voltage bipolar Op Amp design is presented by leroen Fonderie. He shows how multipath nested Miller compensation can be applied to turn rail-to-rail input and output stages into high quality low-voltage Op Amps. Two papers on CMOS Op Amps by Michael Steyaert and Klaas Bult show how high speed and high gain VLSI building blocks can be realised. Without departing from a single-stage OT A structure with a folded cascode output, a thorough high frequency design technique and a gain-boosting technique contributed to the high-speed and the high-gain achieved with these Op Amps. . Finally. Rinaldo Castello shows us how to provide output power with CMOS buffer amplifiers. The combination of class A and AB stages in a multipath nested Miller structure provides the required linearity and bandwidth.

About this title

Review:

`The authors are to be complimented for collecting, into a single reference, a lot of interesting information related to the above mentioned topics, particularly useful for data-acquisition system designers, RF engineers, and others.'
Microelectronics Journal 29 (1998) 1039-1046

From the Back Cover:

This book is part of the Analog Circuit Design series and contains the revised contributions of all speakers of the 16th AACD Workshop, which was organized by Jan Sevenhans of AMI Semiconductor and held in Oostende, Belgium on March 27-29, 2007. The book comprises 17 tutorial papers, divided in three chapters, each discussing a very relevant topic in present days analog design.

Sensors, Actuators and Power Drivers for the Automotive and Industrial Environment - Chaired by Herman Casier, AMI Semiconductor Fellow, Belgium

Integrated PA's from Wireline to RF - Chaired by Prof. Michiel Steyaert, Catholic University, Leuven

Very High Frequency Front Ends - Chaired by Prof. Arthur van Roermund, Eindhoven University of Technology

The aim of the AACD workshop is to bring together a group of expert designers to study and discuss new possibilities and future developments in the area of analog circuit design.

The series provides a valuable overview of analog circuit design and related CAD, mainly in the fields of basic analog modules, mixed-signal electronics, AD and DA converters, RF systems and automotive electronics. It is a reference for whoever is engaged in these diciplines and wishes to keep abreast of the latest developments in the field.
