In this paper the challenge of enhancing the gain and reducing the power requirement of amplifiers, preferably used in biomedical applications is addressed by demonstrating that composite cascode stages, operating in subthreshold/weak inversion regions provide a method of designing a ultra high gain (97dB) and low-power (21μW) op amp with 1.5V power supply. The op amp is designed without compen...

This paper deals with the leader-follower formation control problem while communication constraint in data transmitting is considered. From a practical point of view, we study the case in which unmanned vehicles are subject to the limited sensing, and communication is of a particular interest. A three-dimensional formation flight of multi-unmanned aerial vehicles with leader-follower configurat...

This paper describes a high-gain CMOS low-noise amplifier (LNA) for 2.4/5.2-GHz WLAN applications. The cascode LNA uses an inductor at the common-gate transistor to increase its transconductance equivalently, and therefore it enhances the gain effectively with no additional power consumption. The LNA is matched concurrently at the two frequency bands, and the input/output matching networks are ...

Power consumption is the major issue in VLSI design. In this paper an efficient low power first order sigma delta modulator is designed for oversampled ADC using floating gate folded cascode operational amplifier, in 0.35 μm Technology. Floating gate MOSFET have low power Dissipation hence it is an attractive solution in design of data converters, low voltage op -amp with rail-to-rail input and...

This paper presents a 10-bit pipeline ADC using double sampling technique to achieve a conversion rate of 40 MS/s at 2.5-V supply. The opamps are two-stage with folded-cascode as the first stage and feature techniques such as common-mode stabilized active load, crosscoupled cascode connection, and close-loop pole placement. MOS switches are driven by bootstrapping circuits that do not subject t...

In this paper, feed-forward techniques are revised and used for the design of high-frequency Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTA). For the same power consumption and similar transistor dimensions the two-path and three-path folded-cascode OTAs present both smaller settling error and faster response as compared with the typical folded-cascode topology. Also, a No-Capacitor FeedForward (...
