The analysis, design and experimental characterization of a single-stage class-AB operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) with enhanced large- and small-signal performance is presented. The OTA is biased in weak inversion to save power and employs a non-linear current mirror as active load, leading a boosting current directly at the output branch. As a result, the amplifier's performance is improved without additional circuit elements and/or power consumption. A chip prototype has been fabricated in a 180-nm CMOS process, consuming a quiescent power of 2.5 µW from a supply voltage of ±0.5 V and a silicon area of 0.0013 mm 2 . For a load of 160 pF, it exhibits an average slew rate of 0.94 V/µs and a gain-bandwidth product of 22.1 kHz. [--]
