Han,
I think you may have to use twice the capacitance to ensure at least on=
e
MOS is on. This will eat up twice the area. Even though you have a trip=
le
well process you have at least on well in a CMOS process. This well can=
be
isolated form the power supply. We use this "floating" well technique o=
nce
in a while but usually don't have the operating range to use this as a
compensating technique. To insure that the PMOS Capacitor has enough
Vgs(d) to maintain a channel is usually not possible. That's why I woul=
d
suggest using a big enough PMOS and NMOS to compensate even if the oth=
er
was not in the circuit. It is a brute force method but it will work wit=
h a
wide operating range.

Thanks for your information!
I agree that MOS gate cap is a good idea.
But I may not be able to guarantee the working range of MOS cap in stro=
ng
inversion mode because the gain of the op-amp will be very high.
Meanwhile, there is no triple well process, so all nmos's well is conne=
cted
to substrate, pmos to VCC.
What should I do?

Han,
It may not be a great idea but I compensate all my opamps with MOS gate=
capacitors. Just make sure the device is in saturation otherwise you wi=

get too much series resistance to the thin oxide device. If it is a rai=

to use the device in the well if you need a compensating device with on=

hi, experts:
I am on a project designing high speed limiter in digital cmos process.=
I
need to design some op-amp as controlling circuits.
So, I need capacitor to compensate them to stable. But, in my digital c=
mos
process(1p6m), there will be no MIM/PIP capacitor, so I can not compens=
ate
the op-amp!!
Any people have good idea?
Thanks, Han
