  • A high-swing CMOS operational amplifier topology

    Creator:
    Yang, John Jian
    Abstract:
    A circuit topology for high-swing, high-linearity CMOS operational amplifiers has been developed. The technique uses parallel-connected p- and n-channel input pairs to realize an input common-mode voltage range nearly equal to the total power supply voltage. High linearity is achieved by summing the DC bias and AC small-signal currents so...

  • A chopper-stablized CMOS operational amplifier

    Creator:
    Ann, Seung-Han
    Abstract:
    The chopper-stabilized operational amplifier has good low frequency noise properties. Unfortunately a simple technique for simulation of the chopper-stabilized operational amplifier has not been available. This thesis describes the implementation of a differential amplifier using chopper stabilization and its circuit modeling for the SPICE simulation. This circuit has been designed...

  • Current-feedthrough cancellation technique for current-mode T/H circuits

    Creator:
    Young, David Y. W.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, an analysis of the clock-feedthrough effects in switched-current (SI)' circuits will be presented. The clock-feedthrough effects caused by the non-ideal characteristic of MOS switches when they are turned off limit the accuracy of the analog track-and-hold (T/H) circuits. A model to analyze and characterize this effect is...

  • High accuracy CMOS switched-current ladder filters

    Creator:
    Hoei, Jung-sheng
    Abstract:
    Clock-feedthrough effects, channel-length modulation and device mismatch are the main causes of the inaccuracy of Switched-Current (SI) circuits. In this paper, these non-ideal effects are analyzed. A high-performance current mirror, namely regulated cascode current mirror, which eliminates drain voltage variation problem is introduced. By using this current mirror as a...

  • Design and computer aided optimization of a fully integrated CMOS RF distributed amplifier

    Creator:
    Ballweber, Brian M.
    Abstract:
    Advancements in the sophistication and complexity of modern electronic systems are creating a need for highly integrated systems with ever higher operational frequencies. The economical demands of these systems dictate that they be implemented using low cost fabrication technologies, such as digital CMOS. One of the major challenges facing circuit...

  • Modeling of subthreshold current of GaAs MESFET and the design of voltage reference circuit

    Creator:
    Or, Pee-Keong
    Abstract:
    The characteristic of the subthreshold current in a GaAs MESFET exhibits a negative exponential function with Vgs. After studying the behavior of this current in this region over a range of temperature and drain bias voltages, a subthreshold current model was developed. The model was implemented in a circuit simulation...

  • MOS switched-current biquadratic filters

    Creator:
    Lee, Bor
    Abstract:
    A MOS biquadratic (biquad) filter employing the switched-current technique is reported. The circuit uses current-mode processing which can offer wide bandwidth, low voltage operation, and can be implemented with standard CMOS technology. Examples of lowpass, highpass, and bandpass filters are given which illustrate the synthesis procedures and the versatility of...

  • High speed analog circuit design using the heterostructure insulated gate field effect transistor

    Creator:
    Smith, Alexander B.
    Abstract:
    As Si MOS approaches its maximum limits in speed and bandwidth, new devices are desired to meet the needs of high speed communications and signal processing. A device that exhibits superior performance to Si MOS, BJT, and GaAs technology is the HEMT (high electron mobility transistor). The HEMT offers superior...

  • A universal CMOS current-mode operational amplifier

    Creator:
    Botelho, Cindy
    Abstract:
    It has become customary in electrical engineering to think of signal processing in terms of voltage variables to the exclusion of current variables. This tendency has resulted in voltage signal processing circuits such as voltage-controlled voltage sources (VCVS) and voltage-mode operational amplifiers. However, the VCVS operational amplifier has several limitations...
