Publication Open Access Super-gain-boosted miller op-amp based on nested regulated cascode techniques with FoMAOLDC =24,614kV/V.MHz.pF/µWatt(IEEE, 2020) Paul, Anindita; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; López Martín, Antonio; González Carvajal, Ramón; Díaz Sánchez, Alejandro; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenA simple technique to greatly enhance the DC open-loop gain of a Miller op-amp is introduced here. It is based on the utilization of nested regulated cascode amplifiers. It uses conventional Miller compensation and does not increase the supply voltage. The proposed scheme has a DC open-loop gain Figure of Merit FoMAOLDC=24,614kV/V.pF.MHz/µWatt. It is especially appropriate for utilization in modern deep sub-micrometer CMOS technologies with low intrinsic gain.Publication Open Access Super-gain-boosted AB-AB fully differential Miller op-amp with 156dB open-loop gain and 174MV/V MHZ pF/uW figure of merit in 130nm CMOS technology(IEEE, 2021) Paul, Anindita; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; Díaz Sánchez, Alejandro; López Martín, Antonio; González Carvajal, Ramón; Li, Frank X.; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónA fully differential Miller op-amp with a composite input stage using resistive local common-mode feedback and regulated cascode transistors is presented here. High gain pseudo-differential auxiliary amplifiers are used to implement the regulated cascode transistors in order to boost the output impedance of the composite input stage and the open-loop gain of the op-amp. Both input and output stages operate in class AB mode. The proposed op-amp has been simulated in a 130nm commercial CMOS process technology. It operates from a 1.2V supply and has a close to rail-to-rail differential output swing. It has 156dB DC open-loop gain and 63MHz gain-bandwidth product with a 30pF capacitive load. The op-amp has a DC open-loop gain figure of merit FOMAOLDC of 174 (MV/V) MHz pF/uW and large-signal figure of merit FOMLS of 3(V/us) pF/uW.Publication Open Access An enhanced gain-bandwidth class-AB miller op-amp with 23,800 MHz pF/mW FOM, 11-16 current efficiency and wide range of resistive and capacitive loads driving capability(IEEE, 2021) Paul, Anindita; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; Díaz Sánchez, Alejandro; López Martín, Antonio; González Carvajal, Ramón; Li, Frank X.; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y ElectrónicaA compact power-efficient class-AB Miller op-amp is introduced. It uses a simple auxiliary circuit that enhances the op-amp's gain-bandwidth product and helps to drive a wide range of capacitive and resistive loads with high static and dynamic current efficiency. Simple Miller compensation is used to obtain stability over a wide range of loading conditions. The op-amp's simulation and experimental results in strong inversion with 15uA bias current and in sub-threshold with 250nA bias current are shown. Its performance is measured in terms of dynamic and static current efficiency figures of merit FOMCEDyn and FOMCEStat: and using the conventional small-signal figure of merit FOMSS: Experimental results of op-amps fabricated in a 130nm CMOS technology are shown that validate the proposed approach.
