A Wideband Input Buffer Based on Cascade Complementary Source Follower

Also Available Domains Cadence EDA

Project Code :TVMABE289

Objective

Wideband Operation – Designing an input buffer that can handle a broad frequency range with minimal signal distortion

Abstract

A highly linear input buffer is essential for high-speed, high-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) as it effectively isolates kickback noise and package inductance. This brief analyzes several key factors influencing input buffer linearity and introduces a wideband, high-linearity input buffer based on a cascaded complementary source follower (CCSF) architecture. The proposed CCSF input buffer combines a pMOS source follower (PSF) and an nMOS source follower (NSF).

To enhance bandwidth and minimize distortion, it incorporates a compensation capacitor, an assisted operational amplifier (opamp), a bootstrapped-capacitor level-shifting circuit, a current amplifier, and various optimization techniques. The design was simulated and verified using the Cadence 45nm technology software tool, affirming its effectiveness and practicality.

Keywords: Input buffer, linearization, sample and hold circuit, source follower, wideband.
