For the sake of stability, the gm of second stage is always larger than first stage, usually 8-12 times larger.
To get a PM of 72 degree(no overshoot in frequency domain, only alittle overshoot in time domain but better settling time performance),we need fnd = 3GBW. If you calculate, you will get such expression:gm2/gm1 = 4Cl/Cc. Cc is usually 2-3 times smaller than Cc. Then gm2 is8-12 larger than gm1. Sansen told us in class that when you design anOTA, increasing the current in the second stage will always solve theproblem, but at the cost of power. You can reference the book "Analogdesign essentials" by Willy Sansen, he introduce the design of OTA inchapter 6,7,8.
PMOS has better performance in noise. But use PMOS as the input willintroduce doublet problem. You will find poles and zeros too close toeach other which will affect your time domain applicaion in settlingtime a lot. Furthermore, fT of PMOS is lower than NMOS, which willlower the speed of your circuit. |
