In this paper, a two-stage CMOS operational amplifier is proposed to provide stable operation for a much larger range of capacitive loads, as well as much improved V/SUB BB/ power supply rejection over very wide bandwidths for the same basic operational amplifier circuit.Abstract:
The commonly used two-stage CMOS operational amplifier suffers from two basic performance limitations due to the RC compensation network around the second gain stage. First, it provides stable operation for only a limited range of capacitive loads, and second, the power supply rejection shows severe degradation above the open-loop pole frequency. The technique described provides stable operation for a much larger range of capacitive loads, as well as much improved V/SUB BB/ power supply rejection over very wide bandwidths for the same basic operational amplifier circuit. The author presents a mathematical analysis of this new technique in terms of its frequency and noise characteristics followed by its implementation in all n-well CMOS process. Experimental results show 70-dB negative power supply rejection at 100 kHz and an input noise density of 58 nV/(Hz)/SUP 1/2/ at 1 kHz.read more

Supply noise insensitive bandgap regulator using capacitive charge pump DC-DC converter
TL;DR: Since the operational amplifiers inside BRCC for a solid BRCC regulation receive a supply voltage from the pre-regulated output, they are immune to supply changes on the main power line, which allows the BRCC to have a very high degree of regulation and a high PSNR.
