Design of a low noise low voltage preamplifier
A low noise low voltage preamplifier is designed in this project. Using a 0.18 μm CMOS technology, a two-stage CMOS folded cascode operational amplifier with class AB output buffer is designed utilizing Cadence Custom IC Design Tool. The preamplifier is biased by a constant-transconductance bias cir...

A low noise low voltage preamplifier is designed in this project. Using a 0.18 μm CMOS technology, a two-stage CMOS folded cascode operational amplifier with class AB output buffer is designed utilizing Cadence Custom IC Design Tool.
