In this report a current mode bandgap with a temperature coefficient of 3 ppm for the range from -117◦C to 144◦C is presented. 2nd order curvature compensation is used by using a third BJT with a temperature constant current and a second error amplifier to get a nonlinear temperature coefficient current in extra to enhance the accuracy. The required minimum supply voltage is 1.3V for 3ppm and 1...

This paper describes the design of Current Mode Instrumentation Amplifier (CMIA) for ECG signal Acquisition system. The CMIA topology is based on voltage mode operational amplifier (op-amp) power supply current sensing technique. Op amp mismatch and precise current mirrors are two design challenges of this topology. High Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR) and Power Supply Rejection Ratio PSRR i...

For my final project, I will be constructing a 70V audio amplifier capable of delivering about 200 watts into a network of transformer coupled loudspeakers. My design utilizes a class G (rail switching) output stage for increased efficiency and lessened cooling requirements. The rest of the amplifier circuit is fairly standard: an input differential pair with negative feedback from the amplifie...

This paper presents a chopper instrumentation amplifier for interfacing precision thermistor bridges. For high CMRR and DC gain, the amplifier employs a three-stage current-feedback topology with nested-Miller compensation. By chopping both the input and intermediate stages of the amplifier, a 1 mHz noise corner was achieved at an input-referred noise power spectral density (PSD) of 15 nV/ Hz. ...

The peaking inductor is in series with the capacitor constituting a dominant pole. It boosts the band width of the amplifier.The whole transimpedance a...

Commonly used elementary circuits like single-transistor amplifier stages, the differential pair, and current mirrors basically exploit the transconductance property of transistors. This paper aims at finding all elementary transconductance-based circuits. For this purpose, all graphs of two-port circuits with one or two voltage controlled current sources are generated systematically. This resu...

This paper presents a single-resistance-controlled sinusoidal equi-amplitude quadrature oscillator based on Current Feedback Operational Amplifier (CFOA) which has potential applications in modulation and detection. Most of the Quadrature Oscillators (QO) available in open literature are suffering with same problem. The ratio of two outputs of those QO is frequency dependent and not equal to un...

The objective is to develop an amplifier with desired specifications. In this paper we have tried to explain how we designed an amplifier at 2.47 GHz for W-LAN application and had two options. They were whether to design a power amplifier (PA) or to design a low noise amplifier (LNA). The possibility of PA was eliminated by the fact that we were going to use it as the first block in receiver si...

Abstract A hybrid switching amplitude modulator for class-E2 EDGE polar transmitters is proposed. To achieve both high-efficiency and high-speed, it consists of a wideband buffered linear amplifier as a voltage source and a hysteresis-controlled switching amplifier as a dependent current source. The novel linear amplifier has a high current driving capability of approximately 160mA with a bandw...

A systematic method for the generation of variable gain amplifier topologies is proposed. The generation is based on voltage controlled current sources (VCCSs) modelling saturated MOS transistors, resistors or combinations of these elements. It is shown that many alternative circuit topologies can be generated, that would not easily have been found in an intuitive way. Simulation results shown ...
