High speed operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is used to drive high capacitive loads to reduce the charging time while providing adequate gain and stability. A 2-stage amplifier is proposed to provide high slew rate and sufficient gain and stability. 45nm process technology is used to compare performance with differential and telescopic amplifier designs. Resistive feedback and noise-gain compensation techniques are used to drive 120pF load and provide 2.96V at output for a high slew rate of 2.2V/µs.
