Its performance makes considerable impact on analog systems; therefore, the appropriate design of operational amplifier is very important. This paper presents the design of high-gain low-power two stage CMOS OP-AMP employing current buffer compensation. The current buffer compensation approach has been adopted to enhance the gain-bandwidth product (GBW) with good output swing. To minimize the leakage current, transistor stacking technique is proposed here in which three off-state transistors are stacked on top of each other, consume considerably less leakage current than a single off-state transistor and it works in active and stand-by mode. The designed OP-AMP provides DC gain of 87 dB, enhanced gain-bandwidth product of 190 MHz and an adequate phase margin of 75°. The circuit is operated at the 0.7 V power supply with leakage current of 7.6 pA and power consumption of 19.55 μW only. All the simulations have been performed using Cadence Virtuoso tool in 45 nm technology. 收起
