Design of a Three-Stage Amplifier with Single Miller Capacitor Feedforward Compensation

Article Preview

Abstract:

An efficient three-stage amplifier with a new compensation method called single Miller capacitor feedforward compensation (SMFFC) which is suitable for large capacitive load applications are introduced in this paper. The overall layout area of the amplifier can be significantly reduced without influencing their stability by using a single Miller compensation capacitor in a three-stage amplifier. Pole-splitting and feedforward techniques are effectively combined in this compensation method to achieve a better performance.
