Abstract :
A CMOS wideband transconductance amplifier has been designed in 1.2 μm technology. The output current driving capabilities as well as the frequency response have been simulated using Monte Carlo analysis in order to investigate the effect of dispersion in process parameters. The control over the amplifier bandwidth is obtained by adequate design of the main biasing current. Finally, the transfer characteristic curve nonlinearity is also studied
