摘要
This work presents a 4th-order multi-stage, multi-path, feed-forward-compensated operational amplifier in 65 nm CMOS technology. It is designed to meet the requirements of a continuous-time bandpass Sigma Delta modulator with multi-GHz sampling frequency. The designed amplifier is modular with each stage implemented based on a unit differential amplifier block and it meets its targets with smart placement of poles and zeros. The amplifier is simulated under the loading condition of a single-amplifier resonator which is in turn part of a 6th- order Sigma Delta modulator. The unloaded amplifier reaches a unity-gain-frequency of 38.29 GHz and a DC gain of 58 dB. With a parallel load of 440 fF and 300 Omega, representing the maximum load, the op-amp, including common-mode and biasing circuits, consumes a total of 18.98 mA from a supply voltage of 1.2 V. It is unconditionally stable with a phase margin of 54 degrees and has gains of 35 dB and 23 dB at 1 GHz and 2 GHz respectively.
