Presented is a novel current‐reuse single Miller feedforward compensation (CRSMFC) scheme for multi‐stage operational amplifiers (opamps). The proposed scheme introduces an implicit feedforward path into an opamp by reusing the current of the input stage, which creates a left‐half‐plane zero to cancel out the first non‐dominant pole in the transfer function, thus improving phase margin and gain bandwidth product (GBW) without extra power consumption. A three‐stage opamp prototype with proposed CRSMFC is realised in standard 0.18 µm CMOS process, and measured results show that it achieves a GBW of 4.4 MHz and a phase margin of 73° while driving a large capacitive load of 250 pF with only 34 µW of power consumption, implying a superior FoM over the state‐of‐the‐art.
