Abstract :
This paper presents a novel approach to design a programmable-bandwidth amplifier intended for ultra-low-power switched-capacitor application. The proposed topology is based on the common load-compensated two-stage OTA. The GBW is enhanced by replicating the second amplifying stage. Implemented in a 65-nm CMOS technology and approved by the post-layout simulation, the GBW is programmed in three operation modes (400, 700, and 900 kHz), while 52-dB DC gain is preserved in a 5-pF load. The OTA consumes 275-nW static power in a 400 kHz unity-gain frequency and 375-nW static power in a 900 kHz unity-gain frequency from 0.9-V supply.
