    Abstract:

    This paper presents one approach of designing the single-ended telescopic operational amplifier targeting the 180nm CMOS process node. The proposed solution is suitable for base- band analogue signal processing applications such as moderate rate analogue-to-digital converters and switch-capacitor loop filters of ∆ ∑ modulators. The design is fully verified for process, voltage and temperature variations.
