Summary: | Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2006. === Includes bibliographical references (leaf 89). === Although most modern monolithic solid state operational amplifiers (op-amps) are internally compensated, externally compensated units provide an invaluable degree of freedom to analog designers. As a result, these op-amps offer true 'general purposeness,' since allowing the user to choose the amplifier's compensation can drastically improve performance in many applications. This thesis proposes a design of a high speed, general purpose externally compensated operational amplifier using a modern complementary bipolar process. === by Sandro Herrera. === M.Eng.
