چکیده
Due to the absence of internal nodes, inverter-based Gm-C filters [1,2] allow achieving bandwidths beyond what is possible with opamp-RC techniques. The inverter’s class-AB behavior, together with the high transconductance per quiescent current, results in a high dynamic range per power when optimally biased [3]. The major disadvantage of traditional inverter-based GmC filters is that they are tuned with the supply voltage (VDD), hence requiring a finely controllable supply. Voltage regulators used to accomplish this imply a voltage headroom (including margin for tuning) and degrade total power efficiency by tens of percent. In this paper, we show that by exploiting body biasing in an Ultra-Thin BOX and Body, Fully-Depleted SOI (UTBB FDSOI) CMOS technology, we overcome the requirement for a tunable VDD in inverter-based Gm-C filters, while achieving a high linearity over a wide supply voltage range.

Low voltage logic circuits exploiting gate level dynamic body biasing in 28nm UTBB FD-SOI
In this paper, the recently proposed gate level body bias (GLBB) technique is evaluated for low voltage logic design in state-of-the-art 28 nm ultra-thin body and box (UTBB) fully-depleted silicon-oninsulator (FD-SOI) technology. The inherent benefits of the low-granularity body-bias control, provided by the GLBB approach, are emphasized by the efficiency of forward body bias (FBB) in the FD-SO...
