It is designed in a $0.13 mu mathrm{m}$ CMOS technology with regular VT transistors. By employing a gate-body input class-AB output topology and novel local common-mode feedback, it achieves large output swing, less noise and fast speed, with low power consumption. It also obtains less current variation against supply variation, which is critical for improving battery duration especially for ultra-low-voltage (ULV) operation. Its robust performance against process and supply variations is also verified by extensive corner simulations. Simulation results indicate that this amplifier has an open loop DC gain of 51dB, a unity gain bandwidth of 1.95MHz and a phase margin of 74° with a load of 24pF//1.16M$Omega$ at 0.4V supply.
