Abstract: Due to the rising trends of technologies which are The Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) is undoubtedly one of

consumption of silicon chip devices which are being developing designing an op-amp, various electrical characteristics are
exponentially due to the rising demand of smaller sized devices required to be considered e.g. gain bandwidth, slew rate,
which are needed to be operated at lower voltage so that it can
