Abstract :
A modification to the conventional folded cascode transconductance amplifier is proposed. The proposed amplifier has the benefit of achieving a given set of design specifications while consuming a fraction of the power compared to the conventional folded cascode. Moreover, the proposed modification is robust even for low voltage applications.
