本論文我們使用無米勒電容補償模型並運用前饋級電路來獲得高增益與高頻率特性。我們使用共模回授電路去調整共模輸出位準與偏壓電流。此共模回授電路能使輸出的準位更精確的在參考電壓。
在本研究中使用 TSMC 0.35μm CMOS製程製作晶片。電壓增益大約在90dB，頻率大約在1GHz，供應電壓為±1.25V。電壓輸出位置小於10mV以內。

In this thesis, we use the no-capacitor feed-forward (NCFF) compensation scheme which employs a feed-forward path to obtain high gain, high frequency. We use CMFB circuit to adjust the common-mode output voltages and the bias circuit. The CMFB circuit makes the output accurately to the reference voltage.
The circuit was designed and fabricated TSMC 0.35 μm CMOS process. The dc gain is around 90dB and the cut-off frequency is 1GHz. The supply voltage is ±1.25V. The output voltage is smaller than 10mV.
