  • 본 논문에서는 트랜스컨덕턴스 특성을 개선한 새로운 CMOS Rail-to-Rail 입력단 회로를 설계하였다. 회로 모의 실험기 HSPICE를 통해서 새로운 입력단 회로의 동상 입력 전압 범위에 대한 새로운 회로의 성능을 검증하였다. 새로운 입력단 회로는 기존의 Rail-to-Rail 입력단 회로에 동상 입력 전압에 따라서 동작조건이 변하는 4개의 입력 트랜지스터와 4개의 전류원/싱크를 추가함으로써 구성된다. 새로운 입력단 회로는 두 차동 회로 중에서 어느 한 회로만이 동작하는 영역에서는 신호증폭에 기여하는 트랜지스터의 DC 전류양에는 영향을 미치지 않는 반면, 두 차동 회로가 모두 동작하는 영역에서는 신호증폭에 기여하는 트랜지스터의 DC 전류양을 1/4로 감소시킨다. 그 결과 새로운 입력단 회로는 강반전 영역에서 전 동상 입력 전압 범위에 걸쳐 거의 일정한 트랜스컨덕턴스 특성과 단일 이득 주파수 특성을 보이며 전 동상 입력 전압 범위에 대해서 최적의 주파수 보상을 가능하게 한다.

  • Sinusoidal voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) based on Colpitts and Hartley oscillators are presented. They consist of a LC parallel-tuned circuit connected in a negative-feedback loop with an OTA-R amplifier and two diode limiters, where the inductor is simulated one realized with temperature-stable linear operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and a grounded capacitor. Prototype VCOs are built with discrete components. The Colpitts VCO exhibits less than 1% nonlinearity in its current-to-frequency transfer characteristic from 4.2 to 21.7 MHz and ${\pm}$95 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ temperature drift of frequency over 0 to $70^{\circ}C$. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as 2.92% with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.7 V for a frequency-tuning range of 10.8-32 MHz. The Hartley VCO has the temperature drift and THD of two times higher than those of the Colpitts VCO.

  • In this paper, we present the design of a 4.5 V low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator implemented in the 130 nm CMOS process. The design uses a two-stage cascaded operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) as an error amplifier, with a body bias technique for reducing dropout voltages. PMOS is used as a pass transistor to ensure stable output voltages. The results show that the proposed LDO regulator has a dropout voltage of 32.06 mV when implemented in the130 nm CMOS process. The power dissipation is only 1.3593 mW and the proposed circuit operates under an input voltage of 5V with an active area of $703{\mu}m^2$, ensuring that the proposed circuit is suitable for low-power applications.

  • In this paper, a simple macro model of n-channel MOSFET with dual workfunction gate (DWFG) structure is proposed. The DWFG MOSFET has higher transconductance and lower drain conductance than conventional MOSFET. Thus analog circuit design using the DWFG MOSFET can improve circuit characteristics. Currently, device models of the DWFG MOSFET are insufficient, so simple series connected two MOSFET model is proposed. In addition, a two stage operational amplifier using the proposed DWFG MOSFET macro model is designed to verify the model.

  • This paper reports an adaptive positive feedback bias control technique for operational transconductance amplifiers to adjust the bias current based on the output current monitored by a current replica circuit. This technique enables operational transconductance amplifiers to quickly adapt their power consumption to various analog workloads when they are configured with negative feedback. To prove the concept, a test voltage follower is fabricated in $0.5-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. Measurement result shows that the power consumption of the test voltage follower is approximately linearly proportional to the load capacitance, the signal frequency, and the signal amplitude for sinusoidal inputs as well as square pulses.

  • This paper discusses the design of a sample-and -hold amplifier(SHA) that has a 12-bit resolution with a 100 MS/s speed. The sample-and-hold amplifier uses the open-loop architecture with hold-mode feedthrough cancellation for high accuracy and high sampling speed. The designed SHA is composed of input buffer, sampling switch, and output buffer with additional amplifier for offset cancellation Hard Ware. The input buffer is implemented with folded-cascode type operational transconductance Amplifier(OTA), and sampling switch is implemented with switched source follower(SSF). A spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of this circuit is 72.6 dB al 100 MS/s. Input signal dynamic range is 1 Vpp differential. Power consumption is 65 ㎽.

  • A novel tunable transconductor is presented. Input transistors operate in the triode region to achieve programmable voltage-to-current conversion. These transistors are kept in the triode region by a novel negative feedback loop which features simplicity, low voltage requirements, and high output resistance. A linearity analysis is carried out which demonstrates how the proposed transconductance tuning scheme leads to high linearity in a wide transconductance range. Measurement results for a 0.5 ${\mu}m$ CMOS implementation of the transconductor show a transconductance tuning range of more than a decade (15 ${\mu}A/V$ to 165 ${\mu}A/V$) and a total harmonic distortion of -67 dB at 1 MHz for an input of 1 Vpp and a supply voltage of 1.8 V.
