• MT1 and MT2 are required for level shifting from<br />
the first-stage to the second.<br />
• The PSRR+ is improved by the presence of MT1 p2<br />
• Internal loop pole at the gate of M6 may cause the<br />
Miller compensation to fail.<br />
• The voltage gain of this op amp could easily be 100,000V/V<br />

Comments:<br />
• The second-stage gain has greatly increased improving the Miller compensation<br />
• The overall gain is approximately (g m r ds )3 or very large<br />
• Output pole, p 2 , is approximately the same if C c is constant<br />
• The zero RHP is the same if C c is constant
