ADVD Analog Assignment - 2023ss
Abstract
Please read through this entire document carefully before embarking on your assignment or asking any
queries.
Introduction
For this assignment, you are required to design a simple operational amplifier. You will be given a few
classes of circuits along with the specifications. You are required to meet all the given specifications.
You need to make the choice and then decide numerical values for each of the system specs that will be
enumerated for you. For this job, you might need to refer to journals and other publications. The library
IEEE site is a good place to start. The Internet is of course an excellent place to scrounge around for
information.
In real life, the specifications would be provided to you by a "customer". As a designer your job is to meet
those specifications. The ability to look at system specifications and translate them to specs for individual
building blocks is an important aspect of design. This assignment will help you get a feel for this.
Assignment Requirement
The instructions given here will need to be followed by all students. Please note that failure to do the
same will result in a penalty of marks. You have to work on this assignment in groups of three only. Each
group is required to submit one copy of the assignment report,
You have to use Cadence/ LTSPICE Schematic editor to draw your circuit.
For simulation you have to use SPICE simulators.
Your design should meet all the specifications, at Schematic level.
If you are not able to meet your specs, you can go ahead, but you need to explain why it has
happened at the time of demonstration and in report.
Validate your design for all process corners ( SS, FF, TT) and temperatures 0, 27 and 100 ⁰C.
Min. channel length that can be used is 0.36um.
‘Current sink’ means that one of the nodes is connected to ground and ‘current source’ means that
one of the nodes is connected to the supply.
Your Design Should have only one ideal current Source/Sink .
The suggested topologies are to be used unless there is a valid reason not to do the same.
Make sure that all the transistors are working in saturation region.
‘OTA’ stands for Operational Transconductance Amplifier, which is basically an OPAMP with
high output resistance.
All OPAMPs/OTAs used feedback must be compensated for a phase margin of about 50⁰ to 60⁰,
unless your application requires it to be some other value.
Discussing with your friends is highly encouraged (but not copying). Plagiarism will be
penalized.
There will be no deadline extensions or other considerations based on server or software issues.
You are being given ample time and it is expected that you partition your work well into that time
to avoid last minute rush.
