چکیده
A new class AB differential stage that operates with a single supply voltage of less than two transistor threshold voltages is introduced. This circuit has utilization in high slew rate one stage op-amps, two stage op-amps with class AB input and output stages and linear transconductors. The circuit was verified with simulations and experimentally. It it is shown to have lower voltage supply requirements than other commonly used structures reported in literature.

A New Low-Voltage, Low-Power and High-Slew Rate CMOS Unity-Gain Buffer
Class-AB circuits, which are able to deal with currents several orders of magnitude larger than their quiescent current, are good candidates for low-power and high slew-rate analog design. This paper presents a novel topology of a class AB flipped voltage follower (FVF) that has better slew rate and the same power consumption as the conventional class-AB FVF buffer previously presented in liter...
