    On the optimal current followers for wide-swing current-efficient amplifiers
    (IEEE, 2018) López Martín, Antonio; Garde Luque, María Pilar; Carvajal, Ramón G.; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    The design of various current followers for the implementation of OTAs with high slew rate and current efficiency is addressed. Two basic current follower topologies are compared, and modifications of both followers to improve these parameters are presented. As an application example, an enhanced recycling folded cascode OTA is proposed. Measurement results of the OTA fabricated in a 0.5 μm CMOS process show a 260% and 180% improvement in SR and GBW, respectively, for the same power consumption.

    Class AB amplifier with enhanced slew rate and GBW
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2019) Garde Luque, María Pilar; López Martín, Antonio; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Ramírez-Angulo, Jaime; González Carvajal, Ramón; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    The design of a micropower class AB operational transconductance amplifier with large dynamic current to quiescent current ratio is addressed. It is based on a compact and power-efficient adaptive biasing circuit and a class AB current follower using the Quasi-Floating Gate (QFG) technique. The amplifier has been designed and fabricated in a 0.5 um CMOS process. Simulation and measurement results show a slew rate (SR) improvement factor versus the class A version larger than 4 for the same supply voltage and bias currents, as well as enhanced small-signal performance.
