Abstract :
A novel dynamic biasing technique that can be used for the design of CMOS class AB current-mode circuits is presented. The approach takes advantage of the switched capacitor (SC) technique and enables extremely low voltage operations. An application of the proposed technique to the design of a basic input stage is given and simulations showing good agreement with the expected results are provided
