An Autozeroing Amplifier Using Pfet Hot-electron Injection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have developed an ampliier which removes its "ooset" as a natural part of its operation by modifying the charge on a oating gate. The charge on the oating gate is adapted by a combination of electron tunneling and hot-electron injection , resulting in a nonlinear high-pass lter with a cutoo frequency less than 1 Hz. We show experimental data from this autozeroing ampliier for various input waveforms, and an analytical model which ts the output waveforms. This autozeroing ampliier is a single-input case of a continuous learning circuit.

We have developed an amplifier which removes its "offset" as a natural part of its operation by modifying the charge on a floating gate. The charge on the floating gate is adapted by a combinat,ion of electron tunneling and hot-electron injection, resulting in a nonlinear high-pass filter with a cutoff frequency less than 1 Hz. We show experimental data from this autozeroing amplifier for vario...
متن کاملAn Autozeroing Floating-Gate Amplifier
We have developed a bandpass floating-gate amplifier that uses tunneling and pFET hot-electron injection to set its dc operating point adaptively. Because the hot-electron injection is an inherent part of the pFET’s behavior, we obtain this adaptation with no additional circuitry. Because the gate currents are small, the circuit exhibits a high-pass characteristic with a cutoff frequency less t...

We have developed a bandpass oating-gate ampli er that uses tunneling and pFET hot-electron injection to set its DC operating point adaptively. Because the gate currents are small, the circuit exhibits a high-pass characteristic with a cuto frequency less than 1 Hz. The high-frequency cuto is controlled electronically, as is done in continuous-time lters. We have derived analytical models that ...

We introduce the autozeroing floating-gate (AFGA) secondorder section. We built this second-order filter where the corner frequency and are electronically tunable based on a classic filter topology and principles of operational transconductance amplifiers. We built this secondorder filter using three AFGAs—our floating-gate amplifier that sets its operating point by the interaction of hot-elect...

In this paper, we describe our oating-gate pFET device, with its many circuit applications and supporting experimental measurements. We developed these devices in standard double-poly CMOS technologies by utilizing many eeects inherent in these processes. We add oating-gate charge by electron tunneling, and we remove oating-gate charge by hot-electron injection. With this oating-gate technology...
