output impedance of the main single-stage amplifi er, thereby increasing the overall
gain without signifi cantly affecting the original op-amp’s speed [3][5].

Use the MATLAB program to analyze the pole-splitting phenomenon and RHP zero
cancellation of a standard differential-input, single-ended-output, two-stage op-amp.
For the pole-splitting analysis, use R

from 0 to 30 pF. For RHP
zero cancellation, use C

= 10 pF and sweep R

from 0 to 300 Ω. It is assumed that
