Design and simulation of CMOS analog IC building blocks and operational amplifiers

Abstract

In this thesis, it will be briefly discussed the behaviour of CMOS transistors, the physical design of integrated passive components and finally design the basic building blocks and operational amplifiers. For simulations and calculations the software used is Tanner EDA (Mentor Graphics) and MATLAB. Analog systems consist of basic cells and passive components. Basic cells are operational amplifiers and comparators. They are constructed from simple gain stages and differential pairs. These provide gain, buffering and mixing and can be used in almost any applications. DC and AC analysis for understanding the behaviour he various designed circuits is presented in the following chapters.
