Anyone has experience with Miller compensation via mosfet cap for Two stage Class AB high voltage Amplifier, the output voltage needs to be rail-to-rail(high voltage), I tried the methods of series connected pmos and parallel connected pmos, looks that the value of mos cap varies about 100% across the supply voltage, and there is a dip when the voltage of gate and drain is equal.

My concern is, even if the amplifier is stable under the smallest capacitance value, how will the distortion be? or some other specification deteriorated? Thanks in advance.

If Amplifier is stable ( with good phase margin) need not to use capacitance unnecessarily.
Generally small cap has more thermal noise compared to bigger capacitor. But this concern is immaterial for amplifier for current question.
