304 Threads found on edaboard.com: Miller Capacitance
basically, miller effect is the small g-d capacitance multiplied by the voltage gain at the drain. a high impedance at the drain gives a big miller multiplication. however, looking into a source is a very low impedance so the voltage gain, and consequently the miller effect, is smaller.

Dear all,
How to calculate miller capacitance from the model parameters of a transistor that's biased up?
Another related question is that when I want to use simple equation to find a particular parameter, say use Cgs as part of ft expression, how to find this capacitance? Since there are Cgs, Csg (for Cgd, there is also Cdg)?
Thank you.

Hello Everyone,
How to decrease the miller Capacitor in a two-stage opamp which has a large gm at the input differential pair?
I think the reason for large Cc is as follows:
Since UGB is decided by gm/Cc, a very large Cc which is around 60 pF is used to move the UGB to a value which is lower than the second pole.
Is that right? And how t

These are different things. One stage OTA, or rather an amplifying stage with one high impedance node, that is meant to work in a feedback configuration is compensated by a cap to ac ground.

To further amplify (sorry for the pun) on the post above, look at the schematic for the extra lumped capacitance added to the circuit. It will usually be across the input/output of one of the stages. The miller effect stated in the previous post is used to make the time constant larger than if the capacitance was across a lumped resistor.

As gain increase, the miller capacitance also increase according to formula cgd(1+A). This will form a even lower frequency pole as incresing stages, f=/2pi. RC. The output of the last stage will be

it could be because:
at the cascoded node, you reduce the milled effect cap for the input. but at the same time you isolate the feedback resistor with that node. it means the output resistance is increase to (gm//gds).
i am assuming the feedback resistor is much less than gm//gds.. then the bandwidth at the cascoded node will be reduced..

You are not doing this the standard way that most circuits work best at. You need to find which stage has the lowest pole frequency and add to the miller capacitance by putting the capacitor from base to collector on that stage. This will lower the dominant pole.

For a common source, C is Cgd, for a two-stage op-amp, C is between the outputs of the two stages. I hope this helps.
