A fully differential self-biased inverter-based folded cascode amplifier which uses the feedforward-regulated cascode principle is presented. A detailed small-signal analysis covering both the differential-mode and the common-mode paths of the amplifier is provided. Based on these theoretical results a design is given and transistor level simulations validate the theoretical study and also demo...

Abstract—In this paper, a CMOS differential operational transresistance amplifier (OTRA) is presented. The amplifier is designed and implemented in a standard umc90-nm CMOS technology. The differential OTRA provides wider bandwidth at high gain. It also shows much better rise and fall time and exhibits a very good input current dynamic range of 50 to 50 μA. The OTRA can be used in many analog V...

This paper presents a current re-use quadrature front end receiver architecture for ISM Band. The proposed architecture is a stacked QLMV cell which consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA), mixer and voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), which feeds into the intermediate frequency (IF) load. The LNA is a common source amplifier with Ls source degeneration, a double-balanced Gilbert cell mixer an...

WREN d-e signals are to be amplified, the usual approach is to use a direct-coupled circuit. The difficulty of maintaining sufficiently low drift in a direct-coupled configu ration led to the development of chopper and chopper-stabilized circuits, where a mechanical chopper reduces drift to low values. Unfortunately, other shortcomings arise, and in most applications the direct-coupled d-e ampl...

With the device models presented in chapter 2 and the simulation techniques presented in chapter 3, SAMOC can analyze DC solutions of MOS circuits. In order to test the models and the simulation techniques, some simple circuits are selected to be analyzed by SAMOC. One of the most important circuit parts in analog CMOS circuit design is the differential amplifier. A differential amplifier is us...

A novel class-AB transconductance amplifier, suitable for the input stage of high slew rate CMOS operational amplifier is proposed. The proposed class-AB transconductor is realized from a differential pair of mixed translinear common-drain push-pull circuit. A high speed operational amplifier employing the proposed input stage and a complementary common –source high gain stage is presented. HSP...

Sense amplifiers plays an important role in memories like Dynamic Random Access (DRAM) and Static Random Access (SRAM) for read and write operations. A sense amplifier compares the bit line voltage and its complement amplifies it to rail to rail output voltages. In this project, we mainly concentrated on the write operation. Sense amplifier is one of the peripheral circuits in memories that are...

In this review article, a stage-convertible RF power amplifier designed with a 0.18-m RF CMOS process is described. A method to implement a low-power matching network is an essential technology for the stage-convertible power amplifier. Various low-power matching networks with distributed active transformers as an output power combiner are compared in terms of the amounts of undesired coupling...
