Folded-cascode amplifier with efficient feedforward gain-boosting

CMOS Fully Differential Feedforward-Regulated Folded Cascode Amplifier

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...

Adjustable Gain Cascode Low Noise Amplifier

Tower mounted amplifiers (TMA) serve to lower the system noise figure (NF) in cellular base-stations. For performance reasons, the TMA is located as near to the receiving aerial as practical and has to be connected to the rest of the radio at the tower’s base by a long run of coaxial cable. The parameters critical to TMA performance are low NF for reasons of optimizing coverage area, high gain ...

Enhancing general performance of folded cascode amplifier by recycling current

Introduction: A major building block of analogue integrated circuits is the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), which for many applications is the most power consuming block. Recently, the folded cascode (FC) amplifier has gained preference over the telescopic owing to the low voltage nature of present and future CMOS technologies, despite the higher power budget. In addition, the PMO...

Design and Analysis of Gain Boosted Recycling Folded Cascode OTA

In this paper, a low Power, Gain Boosted Recycling Folded Cascode Operational Transconductance Amplifier (GB-RFC OTA) is described. The proposed GB-RFC OTA is designed using 130nm CMOS technology and achieves enhanced gain, unity gain bandwidth and slew rate with the low Power budget.
