This work presents the design of an inductively source degenerated CMOS differential common source cascode Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) operating at 2 GHz frequency. An inductor is added at the drain of the main transistor to reduce the noise contribution of the cascode transistors. Another inductor connected at the gate of the cascode transistor and capacitive cross-coupling are strategically com...

Simulated results show influence others on gate-to-gate capacitance for ASC SOI device GC device.

AbstractThis paper deals with the design and analysis of folded cascode operational transconductance amplifier in different regions of operations: strong, weak and moderate inversion region. The folded cascode OTA consists of cascode OTA and cascode gain boosting technique. By using 0.35μm technology, the simulation shows DC gain of 78.42dB with a unity gain bandwidth of 446.07 MHz and power co...

In this work a low power, low voltage and high gain operational amplifier is proposed. For this purpose a negative resistance structure is used in parallel with output to improve the achievable gain. Because of using self cascode transistors in the output, the proposed structure remains approximately constant in a relatively large output voltage swing causing an invariable gain. To evaluate the...

Low-voltage cascode current mirrors are reviewed with respect to the design limitations imposed if all transistors in the mirror are required to operate in the saturation region. It is found that both a lower limit and an upper limit exist for the cascode transistor bias voltage. Further, the use of a signal dependent cascode bias voltage is discussed and a selfbiased cascode configuration is p...

In the literature, Improved Recycling Folded Cascode (IRFC) Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) is proposed for enhancing the DC gain and the Unity Gain Bandwidth (UGB) of the Recycling Folded Cascode (RFC) OTA. In this paper, an enhanced IRFC (EIRFC) OTA which uses positive feedback at the cascode node is proposed for enhancing the differential mode (DM) gain without changing the unit...

Abstract – Modeling of the cascode switching structure used in Flyback converter for achieving fast startup in the deeply dimmed phase-cut LED driver is presented in this paper. The cascode structure’s inherent instability and oscillation issue is modeled and analyzed quantitatively. Three solutions are proposed to stabilize the structure and suppress the unstable voltage oscillation. Solutions...

An s-domain analysis of the full dynamics of the pole-zero pair (frequency doublet) associated with the broadly used CMOS active-cascode gain-enhancement technique is presented. Quantitative results show that three scenarios can arise for the settling behavior of a closed-loop active-cascode operational amplifier depending on the relative locations of the unity-gain frequencies of the auxiliary...
