Abstract :
Proposes two new CMOS composite transistors with an improved operating region by reducing a threshold voltage. The proposed composite transistors 1 and 2 employ a p-type folded composite transistor and an electronic Zener diode in order to decrease the threshold voltage, respectively. The simulation has been carried out using 0.25μm n-well process with 2.5V supply voltage
