If a double poly CMOS process is available, internode parasitics can be minimized.<br />

As an alternative, one should keep the drain/source between the transistors to a minimum<br />

area.<br />

In order to improve the <strong>IC</strong>MR, it is desirable to use current source (sink) loads without<br />

losing half the gain.<br />

The resulting solution is the folded cascode op amp.<br />
