| dc.description.abstract | A new approach to design super class AB operational transcon-ductance amplifiers (OTAs) with enhanced large-signal and small-signal performance is presented. It is based on employing two nested positive and negative feedback loops at the active load of an adaptively biased differential pair in weak inversion region. As a result, DC gain, gain-bandwidth product, settling time and noise are improved compared to conventional super class AB OTAs without extra circuit nodes or power consumption. Measurement results of a 180 nm CMOS test chip prototype show a current boosting factor higher than 5000 and a nearly ideal current efficiency. Due to the ultra-low quiescent currents and high driving capability, the circuit exhibits an excellent large-signal figure-of-merit (FOML) of 236 V-1. To illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach, a differential sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit was designed and fabricated on the same test chip. Measurement results of the S/H validate the advantages of the proposal. | en |
