A high-speed general-purpose externally compensated operational amplifier

Although most modern monolithic solid state operational amplifiers (op-amps) are internally compensated, externally compensated units provide an invaluable degree of freedom to analog designers. As a result, these op-amps offer true 'general purposeness,' since allowing the user to choose the amplifier's compensation can drastically improve performance in many applications. This thesis proposes a design of a high speed, general purpose externally compensated operational amplifier using a modern complementary bipolar process.
