Abstract

A simple technique to implement highly power efficient class AB-AB Miller op-amps is presented in this paper. It uses a composite input stage with resistive local common mode feedback that provides class AB operation to the input stage and essentially enhances the op-amp's effective transconductance gain, the dc open-loop gain, the gain-bandwidth product, and slew rate with just moderate increase in power dissipation. The experimental results of op-amps in strong inversion and subthreshold fabricated in a 130-nm standard CMOS technology validate the proposed approach. The op-amp has 9 V·pF/μs·μW large-signal figure of merit (FOM) and 17 MHz · pF/μW small-signal FOM with 1.2-V supply voltage. In subthreshold, the op-amp has 10 V · pF/μs · μW large-signal FOM and 92 MHz · pF/μW small-signal FOM with 0.5-V supply voltage.
