Abstract

There is an increasing interest in high-speed signal processing in modern telecommunication and SC circuit, HDTV, ISDN. There are many methods of high-speed signal processing. This paper describes a design approach for the realization of high-frequency Op-amp in CMOS technology. A limiting factor in Op-amp based analog integrated circuits is the limited useful frequency range. this thesis will develop a CMOS op-amp architecture with improved gainband width product with this technique an op-amp will achieve up to 170MHz (CL=2pF) unity-gain frequency with a 1.2-micron design rule. This CMOS op-amp is particularly suitable for achieving wide and stable closed-loop band widths, such as required in high-frequency SC filters, high-speed analog circuits.

High speed 신호처리는 통신분야, SC circuit, HDTV, ISDN 등에서 관심이 더욱 승가하고 있으며, high speed 신호처리를 위한 많은 방법들이 있다. 본 논문에서는 CMOS 공정에서 고주파 Op-amp의 실현을 의한 설계를 기술하였다. 아날로그 집적회로를 기초로 하는 high speed op-amp의 기능을 제한하는 요소 중 한가지는 유효 주파수 범위이다. 본 논문에서는 $C_{L}$ =2pF에서 단위이득 주파수가 170MHz인 향상된 대역폭적을 가지는 CMOS op-amp 구조를 계발한다. 공정은 1.2$\mu$디자인 룰을 따른다. 본 논문에서 제시한 CMOS op-amp 고주파 SC filter에서 요구하는 큰 커패시터 부하에서의 넓고 안정된 대역폭을 얻기에 매우 적합하다.
