Design and Analysis of High Gain Dual Stage Op-amp in Cadence 180 nm Technology

Operational amplifier contains basic current mirror and dual input differential amplifier. Basic Current mirror is an electronic circuit which contains two transistors. The operation of the current mirror is that whenever current is applied to drain of one of the transistors with some magnitude same current will produce at the output of another transistor, hence the name mirror of the input signal. Operational amplifier contains two legs- inverting leg, non- inverting leg. If signals are applied to inverting and non-inverting legs , operational amplifier used as an amplifier and comparator or adder or subtractor. A two stage operational amplifier consists of a differential amplifier at the input stage.While the second stage is a high gain stage biased by the output of differential amplifier.
