Abstract

The two-stage Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) amplifier features high gain, low power consumption and excellent stability, playing an irreplaceable role in modern communication, audio processing and other fields. This paper designs and analyses a CMOS two-stage amplifier that meets specific performance indicators, including a direct current (DC) gain greater than 80 dB, a -3 dB bandwidth of 3 kHz, and a total current consumption not exceeding 6μA. By adopting a cascade of common-source amplifiers, current-mirror biasing, and a differential input topology, the gain and linearity of the amplifier have been enhanced. Capacitance compensation technology has also been employed to optimize the phase margin to 83.03°, far exceeding the stability requirement of 40°. According to the simulation results, this amplifier effectively resolves the issues of gain and power consumption limitations, while achieving a strong phase margin and bandwidth control, making it a feasible option for low-power and high-gain applications. The theoretical values are compared with actual data. Finally, the paper points out the improvement of the two-stage CMOS amplifier, and the prospect of future development is presented.
