A new CMOS realization based on MOS transistors operating in the saturation region is given. Application of the BOTA in realizing a mixed mode universal filter using six BOTAs and two grounded capacitors is also introduced. The filter's gain can be adjusted simply by varying the amplitude of a transconductance through its control voltage without affecting ₀ and Q of the filter. Also, the Q of the filter can be adjusted by a single transconductor independent of ₀. PSpice simulation results for the BOTA circuit and for the universal filter are also given.     

Low Voltage CMOS Power Amplifier with Rail-to-Rail Input and Output

This paper describes a CMOS power amplifier with rail-to-rail input and output, also suitable for low voltage applications. The amplifier uses Simple Miller Compensation with high bandwidth stage to robustly and power efficiently compensate the amplifier. Circuit also includes a common mode adapter block, based on resistive level shift network, to implement rail-to-rail input and optional adaptive biasing block, which can be used to extend bandwidth of the amplifier for large high frequency inputs in continuous-time applications. Measurement results show that the amplifier is capable of driving heavy resistive and capacitive loads having maximum output current exceeding 100 mA, when driving 1 nF ‖ 10 Ω load from 3.0 V supply. Without adaptive biasing the linear amplifier achieves 5.7 MHz unity gain frequency and 61^∘ phase margin when driving 1 nF ‖ 1 kΩ load, while drawing 2.4 mA from 1.5 V supply.

Input/Output Rail-to-Rail CMOS Operational Amplifier with Shaped Common-Mode Response

This paper presents an input/output rail-to-rail class-AB CMOS operational amplifier with reduced variations in unity-gain frequency over the entire voltage range. The rail-to-rail amplifier input stage is based on two parallel-connected complementary differential pairs. Variations in the small-signal response are kept to a minimum by realizing an adequate shaping of the CM response of the input stage, while still reducing deviations in the total limiting current of the two input pairs with respect to traditional solutions. This is achieved independently of the g _m -I _D characteristic of the amplifier input devices and of any strict matching condition between the complementary input pairs. Experimental results from a 3-V 0.8-m CMOS test-chip are given.
