Reversed nested Miller compensation with voltage follower

In this contribution we present a very efficient design approach for the frequency compensation of three-stage amplifiers using the reversed nested Miller technique. The method exploits a single voltage follower into the internal loop to remove the positive zero, avoiding the reduction of the output swing. Low-valued compensation capacitors are also required, improving speed and reducing area occupation.
