OVERVIEW:
Single Stage Open Loop operational amplifier I designed previously is now tested for the followi
specifications for both its schematic and layout formats.

SLEW RATE CALCULATION WITH SCHEMATIC OF OPEN LOOP
SINGLE STAGE OP AM
For the single stage open loop operational amplifier which I designed, I now calculate it’s slew rate
for both the schematic and the layout. Following is the test bench I made to work out the slew rat

Description:
Slew rate measures the rate at which output of system changes with respect to input. It actually is
the slope of the output curve as it rises from it’s 10% of final value to 90%.
Slope can be given by the following mathematical formulae:
m=(y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1).
In figure 3 point A is (y2,x2)= (1.95,669nano). Similarly point B represents (y1,x1)=(210mili,51nano).
being voltage and x being time.
Plugging these values in the aforementioned formulae slew rate turns out to be 2.815V/mic
second. Ideally the slew rate should be as high as possible.

RESULTS:

Description:
In figure 4 point A is (y2, x2) = (1.786,351 nano. Similarly point B represents (y1, x1)
=(264mili,28nano). Y being voltage and x being time.
Plugging these values in the aforementioned formulae slew rate turns out to be 4.70V/micro
second. Ideally the slew rate should be as high as possible. This rate is a little slower than the slew
rate with schematic, possibly because the layout I made is not fully optimized in terms of
connections and wiring. See figure 1B.

Plugging these values in the aforementioned formulae slew rate turns out to be 6.13V/ nano

Since these calculations are for a single stage amplifier the value is close to ideal.

SETTLING TIME SIMULATIONS AND
CALCULATIONS (WITH LOAD)
SETTLING TIME CALCULATION WITH SCHEMATIC OF OPEN LOOP
SINGLE STAGE OP AMRESULTS:
The settling time is the time required to settle the output within a given range of the final value.
With a few minor modifications in the above test bench following results were obtained.

The output of the op amp with a pulsed input rises to its maximum value with at the maximum of
1micro second.

RESULTS:
Figure 8
Description:
The output of the op amp with a pulsed input rises to its maximum value with at the maximum of
0.6micro seconds when checked for layout. Ideally the settling time should be as small as
possible. System stability plays an important role in reducing the settling time, more stable system
have less settling time.

Dependence of settling time
Settling time of any electronic system depends on how stable the system is and stability is related
phase margin. Phase Margin is given by the following formulae:
Phase Margin = (180 degree – phase at unity gain frequency).
With the op amp under discussion the phase at unity gain was -110 degrees:
Figure 11
So the phase margin turns out to be 70 degrees.
“With a 30-degree phase margin, the circuit is likely to ring for a few cycles before reaching t
final point. (Also, component variations may lower the actual phase margin.) A phase margin
90 degrees is generally over-damped (takes too long to reach the set point). Phase margins
45 to 75 degrees often provide a snappy response without much ringing.”

This means the single stage op amp I am talking about has a good steady state response.

INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE SIMULATIONS
AND CALCULATIONS (WITH LOAD)
The test bench used with load to calculate input offset voltage is:
Figure 12
Load cap= 500p
Load res=100K
CALCULATING INPUT OFFSET VOLTAGE:
Here R3(10K) serves as the feed back resistance which is shorted to ground with R2(1K). Similarly tother input terminal is also shorted to ground with parallel resistive network.
In the above schematic Vout=(1+(R3/R2))*Voffset
Voffset = Vout/1001
