Important Opamp Configurations: Willy Sansen

This document discusses important opamp configurations, including: (1) A simple CMOS OTA with a differential pair and current mirror. Its gain bandwidth product (GBW) is determined by the load capacitance. (2) A CMOS Miller OTA that adds a second stage to increase gain at low frequencies by Miller compensation. (3) A symmetrical CMOS OTA with symmetrical layout and rail-to-rail output swing. Its GBW depends on the size ratio between transistors. (4) A folded cascode OTA with high speed, input referred to the supply rails, and multiple internal nodes. Its GBW is determined by the load capacitance.
