Super-Gain-Boosted AB-AB Fully Differential Miller Op-Amp With 156dB Open-Loop Gain and 174MV/V MHZ pF/μW Figure of Merit in 130nm CMOS Technology

Proposed Telescopic Op-Amp with Improved Gain

Before venturing further on the design of our operational amplifier, the first line of business is to determine the optimal topology for the given specifications. The factor that clearly stands out is the high dynamic range requirement of 85 db. Several topologies are given for this task, among these telescopic op-amp is selected. Compensation techniques are used with two stage topology of tele...

A 1.8 V CMOS DAC cell with ultra high gain op-amp in 0.0143 mm2

This paper presents a novel 1.8 V digital-to-analog converter (DAC) which is designed to operate at DC for a wide variety of circuit calibration techniques. To achieve 10-bit performance at 1.8 V, an ultra high gain op-amp is introduced for servoing. In order to minimize area consumption while maximizing performance, a segmented plus binary plus R-2R architecture is used. The DAC was designed i...

Inverter Based Gain-Boosting Fully Differential CMOS Amplifier

Abstract—This work presents a fully differential CMOS amplifier consisting of two self-biased gain boosted inverter stages, that provides an alternative to the power hungry operational amplifier. The selfbiasing avoids the use of external biasing circuitry, thus reduces the die area, design efforts, and power consumption. In the present work, regulated cascode technique has been employed for ga...

Low Voltage High Gain Linear Class AB CMOS OTA with DC Level Input Stage

This paper presents a low-voltage low-power differential linear transconductor with near rail-to-rail input swing. Based on the current-mirror OTA topology, the proposed transconductor combines the Flipped Voltage Follower (FVF) technique to linearize the transconductor behavior that leads to classAB linear operation and the virtual transistor technique to lower the effective threshold voltages...
