Abstract :
This work describes a new CMOS current-feedback operational amplifier (CFOA) with an on-chip continuous-time current-mode input offset voltage compensation circuit. The proposed compensation method is based on a combination of two techniques: the error integration and the current feedback. In addition, this method is irrespective of process and temperature parameters because of its fully symmetrical architecture. HSPICE simulations of the designed CMOS CFOA layout show that the input offset voltage could be reduced to lass than 1 mV, and a gain of around 112 dB and a power consumption of less than 3 mW are achievable
