چکیده
Presented is a 0.9 V rail-to-rail constant gm CMOS amplifier input stage consisting of complementary differential pairs and a gm control circuit. The gm control circuit eliminates the gm dead zone, which occurs in the conventional rail-to-rail amplifier with ultra-low supply voltages. The proposed amplifier input stage has a constant gm that varies by +2.3% for rail-to-rail input common-mode levels. To verify the proposed amplifier design, an experimental prototype operational amplifier is also implemented using 0.35 mm standard CMOS technology.

This paper proposes a low voltage (±0.55V supply voltage) low power (44.65µW) high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) differential amplifier (d.a.) with rail to rail input common mode range (ICMR), constant transconductance (gm) and enhanced frequency performance. Its high performance is obtained using a simple negative averaging method so that it cancels out the common mode input signals at th...

A 1 V rail-to-rail constant-gm CMOS operational amplifier is proposed. This study shows that keeping the sum of currents in the complementary differential pairs constant rather than controlling the tail currents produces a constant-gm input stage operating in the weak inversion. The currents in the n-channel differential pair are regulated to keep the sum of currents in the complementary differ...

A CMOS operational amplifier with input/output rail-to-rail range is presented. The circuit operates with a 1-V single supply. It uses dynamically biased input level shifters, controlled by a novel tuning scheme, to extend the input common-mode voltage range from one rail to the other. The tuning circuit takes the total biasing current of the amplifier input stage and, hence, its small-signal r...
