Two Stage CMOS OPAMP with Frequency Compensation

CMOS OPAMP is Basic building block of analog and Mixed signal circuits. It is used in many applications such as ADC, DAC and Instrumentation Amplifier. It basically amplifies the difference between two input signals.

2. Ngspice Simulation Results

Ngspice is an open source mixed-signal circuit simulator. To install Ngspice on Ubuntu, open terminal window and type :-

sudo apt-get install -y ngspice

After successful installation, to invoke Ngspice type the following command on the terminal window.

ngspice “circuit file to be simulated”

A) Transient Response of Two stage OPAMP

To get the transient response of two stage OPAMP run the following file in ngspice: Opamp_TRAN.cir.out

B) AC Response of Two stage OPAMP

To get the transient response of two stage OPAMP run the following file in ngspice: Opamp_AC.cir.out

Magnitude Response Vout-dB i.e. ADM

Phase Response Vout-Ph

Phase Margin Plot of Vout

Layout with Magic Tool

MAGIC Tool installation:

The Layout for the circuit was done using Magic Layout editor tool. To observe the layout, install magic using the following commands :-

sudo wget “http://opencircuitdesign.com/magic/archive/magic-8.3.122.tgz”

tar -xvzf magic-8.3.122.tgz

cd magic-8.3.122

sudo ./configure

sudo make

sudo make install

Resistor

After successful installation, To open Resistor layout in magic type following in terminal window:-

cd Cmosopamp/OPAMP_Layout_Files/

magic -T ../libs/sky130A.tech res.mag

Capacitor

To see capacitor layout give command magic -T ../libs/sky130A.tech mimcapt.mag

Single stage OPAMP

To see opamp1 layout give command magic -T ../libs/sky130A.tech opamp1.mag

Dual Stage OPAMP

To see opamp2 layout give command magic -T ../libs/sky130A.tech opamp2.mag

Post-Layout Simulation of CMOS OPAMP IP

Single Stage OPAMP

Transient Response

Run the following file in ngspice: opamp1_tran.spice

1. Vinp, Vinm Waveforms

2. Vo waveform

AC Response

Run the following file in ngspice: opamp1_ac.spice

1. Magnitude Response i.e. VodB

2. Phase Response i.e Vo-ph

3. All AC Response of OPAMP1

Dual Stage OPAMP

Transient Response

Run the following file in ngspice: opamp2_tran.spice

1. Vinp, Vinm Waveforms

2. Vout waveform

AC Response

Run the following file in ngspice: opamp2_ac.spice

1. Magnitude Response i.e. VodB

2. Phase Response Vout-ph

3. Phase Margin Plot Vout-PM

4. All AC Response

Further Work

From the postlayout transient response of Two stage opamp it can be obsereved that the negative peak of vout is flattened. This results in reduction of overall voltage swing at the output. So with proper design this problem can be solved.
