In this paper, a Gm-C LPF utilizing common-mode feedforward (CMFF) CMOS inverter type operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) has been designed and verified by circuit simulations. The CMFF CMOS inverter OTA was optimized for wide input linearity and low current consumption using a standard 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process; gm of 100 ${\mu}S$ and current of 100 ${\mu}A$ at supplied voltage of 1.3 V. Using this optimized CMFF CMOS inverter type OTA, an elliptic 5th order Gm-C LPF for GPS specifications was designed. Gain and frequency tuning of the LPF was done by changing the internal supply voltages. The designed Gm-C LPF gave pass-band ripple of 1.6 dB, stop-band attenuation of 60.8 dB, current consumption of 0.60 mA at supply voltage of 1.2 V. The gain and frequency characteristics of designed Gm-C LPF was unchanged even though the input common-mode voltage is varied.

As IoT industry are growing fast, The importance of power management system is also being magnified. CMOS High power-supply rejection ratio(PSRR) Low-dropout(LDO) regulator is achieved by the proposed ripple Subtractor, Feed-forward capacitor and OTA in this paper. The LDO is implemented in $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology. With the proposed structures, in the maximum loading of 40mA, Simulation result achieves PSRR of -73.4dB at 500kHz and PSRR better than -40dB when frequency is below 10MHz with $6.8-{\mu}F$ output capacitor.

A low-voltage, low-power analog front-end IC for neural recording implant devices is presented. The proposed IC consists of a low-noise neural amplifier and a programmable active bandpass filter to process neural signals residing in the band of 1 Hz to 5 kHz. The neural amplifier is based on a source-degenerated folded-cascode operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) for good noise performance while the following bandpass filter utilizes a low-power current-mirror based OTA with programmable high-pass cutoff frequencies from 1 Hz to 300 Hz and low-pass cutoff frequencies from 300 Hz to 8 kHz. The total recording analog front-end provides 53.1 dB of voltage gain, $4.68{\mu}Vrms$ of integrated input referred noise within 1 Hz to 10 kHz, and noise efficiency factor of 3.67. The IC is designed using $18-{\mu}m$ CMOS process and consumes a total of $3.2{\mu}W$ at 1-V supply voltage. The layout area of the IC is $0.19 mm^2$.

This paper describes a new linear operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) and its application to the 9th-order Bessel filter. To improve the linearity of the OTA, we employ a mobility compensation technique. The combination of the triode and the subthreshold region transistors can compensate the mobility reduction effect and make the OTA with a good linearity. The proposed OTA shows $\pm$0.32% Gm variation over the input range of $\pm$0.8-V. The total harmonic distortion (THD) was lower than -60-㏈. The 9th-order Bessel filter has been designed using a 0.35-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS process under 3.3-V supply voltage. It shows the cutoff frequency of 8-MHz and the power consumption of 65-mW.
