Figure 1 Figure 2

The two stage opamp of figure 1 is used in the unity-gain follower configuration of fiqure 2, to drive a parallel combination of capacitance C and resistance R ,as
shown. The trasconductance (G ) and output conductance (G,) of the individual transconductor stages are marked in figure 1. The "+ and"" signs indicated at the
input nodes of figure 1 denote the respective positive and negative input terminals of the overall two stage opamp. The opamp is Miller-compensated using a
capacitor of value C-1pF, as indicated in figure 1. For all calculations, you may assumethat: (a) poles and zeros affect phase response oniy between 0.1X and 10X the
-

pole/zero frequency. (b) "DC" refers to low frequencies where there is no effect of any pole or zero.

Solutions to Assignment 4: Opamp at the block level
Problems1through 10:
DC gain of the first stage = Gm1/Go1= 20uS/0.2uS = 100 =40dB
DC gain of the second stage = Gm2/Go2 = 200uS/2uS = 100 = 40dB
Overall DC gain of the opamp = 40+ 40 = 80dB

If a small-signal differential voltage v is applied to the opamp, the voltage at the output of the first
stage = 100v

The second transconductor develops an output current = Gm2 * 100v

Therefore, the magnitude of the overall transconductance of the twO-stage opamp 100*Gm2 =
20mS

Denote Load conductance by GL= 1/(RL) = 1/(125kQ) - 8uS

DC gain of the circuit of figure 2 = (Gm1/Go1)* [Gm2/(Go2 + GL)]
= 100°[200uS/(2uS+8uS)] = 2000 = 66.02 dB
Value of unity gain frequency of loop gain in rad/s = Gm1/C = 20uS/1pF = 20 Mrad/s
Value of unity gain frequency of loop gain in MHz = 20/6.28 MHz = 3.18 MHz
Let us assume that the non-dominant pole and zero are outside the unity gain frequency. Therefore:

Position of dominant pole = (unity gain frequency)/DC gain= 3.18 MHz/2000 = 1590 Hz

Position of non-dominant zero in rad/s = Gm2/C = 200uS/1pF = 200 Mrad/s

Position of non-dominant zero in MHz = 200/6.28 = 31.8 MHz (this lies outside unity gain frequency)

Approximate position of non-dominant pole in rad/s = Gm2/CL = 200u5/1pF = 200 Mrad/s

Approximate position of non-dominant pole in MHz = 200/6.28 = 31.8 MHz (this too lies outside
unity gain frequency)

Both non-dominant pole and zero lie at 10X the unity gain frequency. Therefore, they do not affect
the phase at the unity gain frequency. Therefore, the phase at the unity gain frequency is only due to
the dominant pole.
Total phase at unity gain frequency = -90 degrees.
Therefore, phase margin = 90 degrees.
