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.

First-order Hold DAC Reconstruction Filtering for Efficient Image Rejection

TL;DR: In this article , an analog first-order-hold filter was proposed to improve the image rejection of the DAC output signal, which was evaluated through extensive simulations and it was found that its image rejection ratio was 20 dB better than the conventional zero-order hold and 10dB better than a 1st-order lowpass.
