In this paper we present a three-stage fully differential operational amplifier in 120nm digital CMOS. To reach high gain gain-boosted cascodes in the first stage are used. The gain-boost amplifiers are realized as two-stage amplifiers with self cascodes. A DC gain of 108dB and an unity-gain frequency of 1.06GHz are achieved at 1.2V supply. The operational amplifier is appropriate for supply vo...

Current Feedback Amplifiers (CFA) are discussed in this report. Current Feedback Amplifiers employ the current mode of signal processing to achieve higher gain-bandwidth product and greater slew rates than those of a Voltage Feedback Amplifier (VFA). The Current Feedback Amplifier topology has an inherent advantage over that of the the Voltage Feedback Amplifier, wherein the amplifier gain can ...

This paper proposes a low voltage (±0.55V supply voltage) low power (44.65µW) high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) differential amplifier (d.a.) with rail to rail input common mode range (ICMR), constant transconductance (gm) and enhanced frequency performance. Its high performance is obtained using a simple negative averaging method so that it cancels out the common mode input signals at th...

Being a core component of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), the operational amplifier is expected to provide sufficient DC gain and bandwidth to make the output amplitude less than 1⁄2 Least Significant Bit (LSB) in a half clock cycle. However, due to the limitation of the operational amplifiers in DC gain and bandwidth, most ADC is limited to 10-Bit, 100 Million Samples per Second (MSPS) [...

In this paper, we experimentally investigate the performance of an efficient high gain triple-pass L-band ErbiumDoped Fiber (EDF) amplifier structure with a single pump source.
