Introduction
The Circuit
The circuit consists of two gain stages
1 First Stage
Formed by the differential pair Q1 -Q2 together with its current
mirror load Q3 -Q4 .
Differential-amplifier circuit provides a voltage gain in the range of
20 V/V to 60 V/V.
Also provides a reasonable common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR).
The differential pair is biased by current source Q5 , which is a
current mirror output.
The current mirror is fed by a reference current IREF .
2 Second Stage
Consists of the common-source transistor Q6 and its current-source
load Q7 .
Provides a gain of 50 V/V to 80 V/V.
It takes part in the process of frequency compensating the op amp.
This is implemented using a compensation capacitance CC .
Characteristics
The CMOS op-amp circuit can exhibit a systematic output dc
offset voltage. It can be eliminated by sizing the transistors.

The Two Stage CMOS Op Amp Characteristics
Characteristics
Since Op amps are used with negative feedback , stability is
paramount. To achieve stability the phase of the gain should not be
near 180 degrees when the magnitude gain is unity.
This is the purpose of the dominant capacitance CC .
