A Zener-diode structure is inserted between the tails of the complementary input pairs to keep the grn of the input stage constant. A novel slew rate enhancement circuit is implemented to achieve a very high slew rate. The chip has been implemented in a 0.5μm CMOS process and the chip area of the operational amplifier circuit is 0.11 mm^2. The testing results indicate that in the 5-8 V input range, the maximum gm fluctuation is only 4.2%. The result exhibits a high slew rate of 111 V/μs and 102 V/μs for the rising and falling edges under a 20 pF capacitance load, and the low frequency gain is up to 109 dB with a phase margin of 70 ℃.展开更多
