The presented amplifier benefits from an improved high input swing structure using quasi-floating-gate technique. The composite transistors and recycling configuration used at the input stage enable the input differential pair to operate under low supply voltages with larger transconductance as compared to the conventional models at no expense of power budget. The circuit is designed in 0.18 µm CMOS technology and simulation results show 61.5 dB low frequency gain with the gain bandwidth of 30.15 kHz and 55.3 V/ms average slew rate. The total current of 275 nA and 0.6 V supply voltage make the proposed amplifier a suitable choice for ultra-low-power applications.     

Embedded capacitor multiplier gain boosting compensation for large-capacitive-load three-stage amplifier with slew rate enhancement

An embedded capacitor multiplier gain boosting compensation (ECMGBC) technique with slew rate enhancement circuit is presented in this paper for a three-stage amplifier. The ECMGBC technique pushes the non-dominant complex poles of the amplifier to high frequencies for gain-bandwidth product (GBW) extension under low quiescent current. In addition, the proposed slew rate enhancement circuit improves the transient responses of ECMGBC amplifier without any problem of oscillation. The ECMGBC amplifier has been designed and simulated in a 0.35-µm mixed signal CMOS process. From the post-simulation results, the amplifier driving a 1,000-pF capacitance achieves a 1-MHz GBW with a phase margin of 60° by consuming 13.5-µA quiescent current. The total compensation capacitance is only 1.2 pF. The transient responses are simulated when the amplifier is in unity-gain non-inverting configuration with a 0.6-V step input at a 2-V supply. The 1 % settling time is 1.1 µs for a 1,000-pF load capacitance. Compared with previously reported works, the ECMGBC amplifier achieves good figures of merit. Moreover, the ECMGBC amplifier obtains a very high ratio of load capacitance to total compensation capacitance.

A 1-V BiCMOS rail-to-rail amplifier with n-channel depletion modeinput stage

A BiCMOS rail-to-rail operational amplifier capable of operating from supply voltages as low as 1 V is presented. The folded cascode input stage uses an nMOS depletion mode differential pair to provide rail-to-rail common mode voltage range while typically requiring only 40 fA of input bias current. The bipolar transistor differential-to-single-ended conversion network employs a low-voltage base current cancellation technique which provides high input stage voltage gain from a l-V supply yet allows a 3-V/μs slew rate capability. The bipolar transistor output stage uses a low-voltage translinear loop which maintains a low impedance signal path to the output common emitter power devices. This circuit topology enables the amplifier to achieve a 4-MHz bandwidth with 60° of phase margin. The output voltage can swing to within 50 mV of each supply rail. An “on-demand” base current boost technique will be presented which can provide up to 50 mA of output drive capability from a 5-V supply, yet consumes only a few microamps when the output is in the quiescent state. A low voltage level shift technique will be described which uses an n-channel depletion mode source follower to provide isolation between the input and output stages
