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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of inadequate powersupply rejection ratio (PSRR) in a typical Class-B power amplifier with a simple unregulated supply may be twofold, i.e., inadequate power supply rejection ratio and insufficient heat sinking.
