This paper presents a design methodology for common-mode (CM) stability of operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)-based gyrators. The topology of gm − C active inductors is briefly reviewed. Subsequently, a comprehensive mathematical analysis on the CM stability of OTA-based gyrators is presented. Sufficient requirements for the gyrator’s CM stability, that easily can be considered during...

An ultra-low voltage rail-to-rail operational trans conductance amplifier (OTA) based on a standard digital 0.18μm CMOS process is described in this paper. Techniques for designing a 0.6 volt fully differential OTA are discussed including bias and reference current generator circuit. To rail-to-rail operation complementary input differential pairs are used where Bulk driven technique is used to...

Operational transconductance amplifier and capacitor (OTA-C) filters have outstood among different types of filter due to high frequency and low power capabilities in the main stream digital CMOS technology. They have been widely used in computer hard disk drive (HDD) and wireless communication transceivers. OTA-C filters based on cascade and passive ladder simulation are well-known. However, m...

Spintronic oscillators are nanodevices that are serious candidates for CMOS integration due to their compactness and easy frequency tunability. For a crystal oscillator to work, there must exist a feedback path with properly What practical circuits do is design such that we have a phase-shift of 180. A double balanced down conversion oscillator mixer using 90 nm CMOS technology is proposed in a...

This paper presents a low-voltage low-power differential linear transconductor with near rail-to-rail input swing. Based on the current-mirror OTA topology, the proposed transconductor combines the Flipped Voltage Follower (FVF) technique to linearize the transconductor behavior that leads to classAB linear operation and the virtual transistor technique to lower the effective threshold voltages...
