A CMOS self-biased fully differential amplifier is presented. Due to the self-biasing structure of the amplifier and its associated negative feedback, the amplifier is compensated to achieve low sensitivity to process, supply voltage and temperature (PVT) variations. The output common-mode voltage of the amplifier is adjusted through the same biasing voltages provided by the common-mode feedbac...

The research on noise in electron devices has two objectives: (i) The study of specific devices, such as the parametric amplifier and the maser, to determine the physical sources of noise and the limitations they impose on the noise performance of the amplifier. The parametric amplifier with coherent input signals at both the signal and idler frequency, and the degenerate parametric amplifier a...

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 ...

A new symmetrical topology switching power amplifier is introduced for professional audio use.
