This article presents a realization of a recently basic building block for analog signal processing, namely fully differential operation transconductance amplifier (FD-OTA) using the commercially available ICs (LT1228). The proposed element has very simple internal instruction. The performances are examined through PSpice simulations. The description include example as biquadratic filter topolo...

In this letter a useful CMOS fully-differential buffer topology is presented. The proposed solution, performing the common mode feedback (CMFB) operation, shows a rail-to-rail characteristic, so it is particularly suitable for low-voltage (± 0.75V) low-power (<400 μW) applications. The simulated results have shown excellent general performance, evaluated in terms of suitable figures of merit (F...

We have constructed a dc-coupled differential amplifier capable of operating in the 4.2 K – 300 K temperature range. The amplifier can be operated at high-bias setting, where it dissipates 5 mW, has noise temperature TN < 0.8 K at 4 k source resistance and >40 MHz bandwidth at 4.2 K bath temperature. The bias setting can be adjusted: at our lowest tested setting the amplifier dissipates <100 W,...

One of transient phenomenon that causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection during the energization of a loaded power transformer is the ultra-saturation phenomenon. In this paper, a new model for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the pow...

Mohamed O. Shaker et al. 175 A new CMOS voltage-controlled fully-differential transconductor is presented. The basic structure of the proposed transconductor is based on a four-MOS transistor cell operating in the triode or saturation region. It achieves a high linearity range of ± 1 V at a 1.5 V supply voltage. The proposed transconductor is used to realize a new fully-differential Gm-C low-pa...

A fully-differential seventh-order 0.05° equiripple linear phase low-pass filter based on multiple loop feedback (MLF) leapfrog (LF) topology is presented for read/write channels. The filter is designed and simulated with the proposed fully balanced, highly linear operational transconductance amplifier (OTA). This OTA contains two complementary differential cross-coupled input pairs and a pair ...
