Design of switched capacitor circuits in scaled CMOS technologies is becoming difficult because of low device intrinsic gain and reduced power supply voltage. To solve these problems, comparator-based switched-capacitor (CBSC) circuits and zero-crossing based circuits (ZCBC) were suggested as a possible solution to the op-amp based circuits. In this thesis, we explore zero-crossing based circui...

The 990 discrete op-amp is the finest op-amp available for audio applications. If you want superior sound quality, the 990 can provide it. The 990 is used in the most critical audio applications. Leading recording studios, remote recording companies, disc and CD mastering facilities, TV and radio stations use the 990 for superior performance. Several mic preamps and other products using the 990...

A new method based on adaptive GA(genetic algorithm) for optimizing the parameters of CMOS operational amplifier is presented in this paper. The synthesis of the Op-amp (operational amplifier) can be translated into multiple-objective optimization task, in which a large number of specifications have to be taken into account. Such as DC-gain, bandwidth of unity gain, phase-margin, power, noise a...

This paper describes the design of a CMOS capacitor-ratio-independent and gain-insensitive algorithmic analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. Using the fully differential switched-capacitor technique, the A/D converter is insensitive to capacitor-ratio accuracy as well as finite gain and offset voltage of operational amplifiers. The switch-induced error voltage becomes the only major error source, ...

This paper presents 10-bit, 1.5 MS/s, 2.5V, Low Power Pipeline analog to digital converter using capacitor coupling techniques. A capacitance coupling foldedcascode amplifier effectively saves the power consumption of gain stages of ADC in a 0.25 μm CMOS technology. The ADC also achieves Low power Consumption by the sharing an op-amp between two successive pipeline stage further reduction of po...

A compacted and low-offset low-power CMOS amplifier for biosensor application is presented in this paper. It includes a low offset Op-Amp and a high precision current reference. With a novel continuoustime DC offset rejection scheme, the IC achieves lower offset voltage and lower power consumption compared to previous designs. This configuration rejects large DC offset and drift that exist at t...

INTRODUCTION This application note describes a systematic approach to calculating the overall error in an instrumentation amplifier (in amp) application. We will begin by describing the primary sources of error (e.g., offset voltage, CMRR, etc.) in an in amp. Then, using data sheet specifications and practical examples, we will compare the accuracy of various in amp solutions (e.g., discrete vs...

In an era of discrete tube or transistor op-amp modules, any potential advantage to be gained from fully-differential circuitry was masked by primitive op-amp module performance. Fullydifferential output op-amps were abandoned in favor of single ended op-amps. Fully-differential op-amps were all but forgotten, even when IC technology was developed. The main reason appears to be the simplicity o...
