Abstract
Today, the size of semiconductor devices is still decreasing, which makes the circuit more integrated, faster computing speed, and lower power consumption. But for a single transistor, some performance degrades. One of the important properties is voltage gain, which must be compensated with some special methods in the design. This paper will focus on the discussion and analysis of four methods, which are able to improve the voltage gain. These are cascode amplifier, cascade amplifier, gain boosting, and bootstrapping. In this letter, their respective advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. Furthermore current applications and possible external development of these methods are also important part of this paper. In this part, the discussion will be further expanded and summarized on the basis of previous studies. Hopefully, these studies can help others gain a more comprehensive understanding of these technologies and provide a theoretical basis for future high-performance analog integrated operational amplifier research and design.
