The Design of Two-Stage Miller Op-Amp: The Final Verdict! | Dr. Hesham Omran

The two-stage Miller op-amp is a circuit for all seasons. It is there in almost every analog IC design course and every analog/mixed-signal chip. But despite being an ubiquitous circuit, there has never been a standard approach to systematically design it! Thousands of papers, lectures, tutorials, can be found online about the design process, and everyone is proposing a different approach. The ML/AI guys recently kicked in and started to propose even more approaches based on big buzzwords like reinforcement learning and graph neural networks! On the other hand, some designers just get frustrated with all these fancy methodologies, and just get the job done by some intuition and SPICE-monkeying. So what this live lecture is all about? It is the final verdict! We will start with the basics and end up with how to design a Miller op-amp in less than two minutes! Sounds fake? Join us to see it yourself!
