A low-power low-voltage OTA with rail-to-rail output is introduced. The proposed topology is based on the common current mirror OTA topology and provide gain enhancement without extra power consumption. Implemented in a standard 0.25μm CMOS technology, the proposed OTA achieves 50 dB DC gain in 0.8 V supply voltage. The GBW is 1.2MHz and the static power consumption is 8μW while driving 18pF lo...

Today every circuit has to face the power consumption issue for both portable device aiming at large battery life and high end circuits avoiding cooling packages and reliability issues that are too complex. It is generally accepted that during logic synthesis power tracks well with area. This means that a larger design will generally consume more power. The multiplier is an important kernel of ...

in this paper, a low voltage and low power (lv/lp) operational transconductance amplifier (ota) using fgmos (floating-gate mos) transistor is proposed. the relative tuning range of 50 is achieved in this ota while only consumes 40 µw with 1.0 v supply voltage in tsmc 0.18 µm cmos technology. the simulation results of the proposed ota show an open loop gain of 30.2 db and a unity gain frequency ...

—In this paper, we present a method to design low-power low-voltage current-mirror based integrators for continuous-time modulators. It is shown that, by proper biasing of the mirror transistors, very high modulation index can be achieved at low-voltage supply. Careful analysis of the current-mode integrator shows that there exists an optimum supply voltage for minimum power consumption. Simula...
