Abstract :
We present the design and analysis of a power-efficient cascode-compensated amplifier. The proposed analysis is based on an intuitive approach that simplifies the design of sucn structures. Based on this analysis, an amplifier in UMC 0.18 μm technology is designed. Cascode compensation, along with other power saving techniques, results in a power efficient amplifier with a relatively high figure of merit (1927 MHz·pF/mW) compared with other state of the art realizations.
