Abstract

In this paper, we propose a Rail-to-Rail OTA using equivalent MOSFETs without cutoff region, which operate in triode and saturation regions. The proposed circuit has a merit that its input range is not limited due to voltage drop of current mirrors. The simulation results of the proposed circuit are shown. From the simulation results, the linearity of the proposed circuit is improved when input voltage is from 2V to 3V.
