Implementation of a Multipath Fully Differential OTA in 0.18-um CMOS Process

Project Code :TVPGBE160

Objective

In this brief, two FVF cells are used as two nonlinear tail current sources with the capability of increasing the dynamic currents under large-signal operation, causing a high SR performance.

Abstract

The brief describes a fully differential transconductance amplifier (FDTA) that uses several input-to-output paths and traditional techniques such as positive feedback, nonlinear tail current sources, and current mirror-based paths to increase transconductance, leading to a larger DC gain and higher gain bandwidth (GBW) product.

Two flipped voltage-follower (FVF) cells are used as variable current sources to provide Class-AB operation and adaptive biasing of all other drivers. The structure also includes several input-to-output paths that act as dynamic current boosters during the slewing phase, improving the slew rate (SR) performance.

This design was implemented in a TSMC 0.18-µm CMOS process
