This paper presents the details design and simulation of the Folded Cascode amplifier using Source-Coupled-Logic (SCL) technology node for both the P-Type Metal Oxide Semiconductor (PMOS) and N-Type Metal Oxide Semiconductor (NMOS) input. The different way to implement the circuit design for a given specification has clearly described including all the design equation has been presented. All the parameter like open loop gain, Unity Gain Bandwidth (UGB) and Phase Margin (PM) are compared for both the NMOS and PMOS input fully differential folded cascode op-amp circuit are discussed and finally we have got after performance analysis that NMOS input fully differential folded cascode op-amp is the best choice for low power high speed application like in pipeline Analog to Digital (ADC). The circuit has been simulated using cadence virtuoso tool in 0.18µm SCL technology node.
