This paper presents an ultra low power process-insensitive two stage CMOS OP-AMP employing bulk-biasing technique realised in a standard 45 nm CMOS technology. Bulk-Biasing technique has been employed to augment the DC gain of two stage CMOS OP-AMP without having any impact on its power dissipation and output swing. In this work, high gain-bandwidth product (GBW) with appropriate phase margin is achieved through pseudo-cascode compensation approach which overcomes the drawbacks of Miller compensation technique also. Furthermore, the effect of width scaling on performance metrics of proposed OP-AMP has been analysed. The designed OP-AMP exhibits enhanced DC gain of 94.2 dB, gain-bandwidth product (GBW) of 460 MHz and adequate phase margin of 80°; with fast settling response. Also, the proposed OP-AMP has power dissipation of 27 μW and leakage current of 6.4 pA only. The design and optimisation of proposed OP-AMP is carried out at a power supply of 0.7 V under room temperature in Cadence Virtuoso tool.

Noise model of a MOSFET, which includes the effect of forward-body bias, is proposed. Thermal noise and shot noise are extracted and their variations with the forward body-bias are compared. It is found that the shot noise increases with the forward body-bias and becomes significant above 0.4 V forward bias. A CMOS op-amp is designed utilizing forward body-bias technique combined with a level shift current mirror. The designed amplifier dissipates power of 40 μW and operates at ± 0.4 V to achieve a gain of 77 dB. The noise in this ultra low-power op-amp is also investigated. The total simulated output noise density of 320×10-12 V 2/ Hz in the ultra-low power op-amp design is slightly lower than the calculated 413×10-12 V 2/ Hz value from the proposed model.
