Low-Voltage CMOS Operational Amplifiers: Theory, Design and Implementation / Edition 1

by Satoshi Sakurai, Mohammed Ismail

Overview

Low-Voltage CMOS Operational Amplifiers: Theory, Design and Implementation discusses both single and two-stage architectures. Opamps with constant-g_m input stage are designed and their excellent performance over the rail-to-rail input common mode range is demonstrated.
The first set of CMOS constant-g_m input stages was introduced by a group from Technische Universiteit, Delft and Universiteit Twente, the Netherlands. These earlier versions of circuits are discussed, along with new circuits developed at the Ohio State University. The design, fabrication (MOSIS Tiny Chips), and characterization of the new circuits are now complete.
Basic analog integrated circuit design concepts should be understood in order to fully appreciate the work presented. However, the topics are presented in a logical order and the circuits are explained in great detail, so that Low-Voltage CMOS Operational Amplifiers can be read and enjoyed by those without much experience in analog circuit design.
It is an invaluable reference book, and may be used as a text for advanced courses on the subject.

Editorial Reviews

A reference or text for an advanced course in the design and implementation of CMOS operational amplifiers that work at less than three volts. Describes both the first such circuits introduced in the Netherlands in 1992, and the newer ones developed at Ohio State University up to June 1994. The topics include robust bias circuit techniques, rail-to-rail output stages, amplifiers of one and two stages, and silicon implementations. Annotation c.
