MOS Operational Amplifiers: Stability and Frequency Compensation: General Considerations, Multipole

The document discusses operational amplifiers, including: 1. Stability and frequency compensation techniques for op-amps, such as phase margin compensation and multipole systems. 2. Op-amp design considerations like performance parameters, design of one-stage and two-stage op-amps, gain boosting, and common-mode feedback. 3. Additional op-amp topics such as input range limitations, slew rate, power supply rejection, and noise.

Slew Rate
What is Slew Rate?

• It is the maximum rate of

unit time
• The slew rate should be as
high as possible to ensure
the maximum undistorted
