Exam question• An amplifier have the following open-loop gain:
• Draw a detailed asymptotic bode-diagram for the open-loop gain. Both the amplitude and phase should be clearly visualized. (2p)
• What is the gain-bandwidth product for the amplifier? (1p)• What is the lowest amplification the amplifier can be used (AVmin),
without any stabilization network assuming 45˚ phase margin, (ΦM).(2p)
• Stabilize the amplifier with a dominant pole compensation so that it can be useful as a 20 dB amplifier with ΦM>45˚.

AolAol and phase response after compensation
After compensation, we get -135degree
phase shift at 1MHz
Gain at 1MHz is 40dB. This means that the feedback factor must be atleast -40dB to get Loop Gain(AolB) = 0db a@ 1MHzSo amplifier is stable for Acl
>= 40dB
Muhammad Amir Yousaf16
But our requirement was to make it stable for 20dB amplification.
Still not achieved……

adjusted for lower gain in
