The RiLa opamp is an experimental amplifier that is made of 10 N-Channel Metal Oxide
Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors and 5 PNP and 3 NPN Bipolar Junction Transistors.
Supply voltage ±9 V
Input voltage ±6 V

This opamp have three main stages, a differential pair with active load, a common
source gain stage and a Class AB output stage. First and second stage have wilson
current mirror. The differential pair consists of two 2n7000 transistors M1 and M2. It
was seek to ensure a single ended gain of 30dB fixing a polarization current of 10mA
by the means of calculation of a reference resistance R1. This polarization current is
generated by the wilson current mirror formed by M4 and M3.
Av = gmM 2 (roM 2 //roQ2 ) (1)
The equation (1) comes from taking the half differential equivalent circuit, assuming
symmetry.
By replacing on equation (1) the known parameters.

Having in mind that the Gate is ground connected,
V GS M 2 = V GM 2 − V S M 2 =− V S M 2 =− 1, 68V
The source voltage of M2 is equal to M3‘s drain voltage,
V S M 2 = V DM 3 =− 1, 68V
To obtain the gate voltage of M3, first drain voltage of M4 is obtained using

With the common source stage was looked towards adding a 20dB gain to the
already obtained gain at the output of the differential pair. This stage also have a
wilson current mirror. A capacitor was used as signal ground, to eradicate the effect
of the current source resistance on the gain. The drain resistance R4 of this stage
was calculated to satisfy the desired gain.
To calculate the drain resistance to obtain the desired gain it was used the gain

To improve the margin phase and make the system stable miller compensation was
used. 1nF capacitor was added to common source stage (C4).
To measure slew rate the RiLa opamp was configured as buffer and a square wave was the
entrance. In vs out is shown below
The CMRR was calculated by applying a common mode voltage over the inverting
and non-inverting inputs. subsequently, the output was measured.
