  • Abstract
    Class AB differential amplifiers are proposed. Class AB operation for differential amplifiers is realized by using a minimum voltage selecting circuit and an amplifier. An almost minimum tail current value is provided to a differential amplifier to reduce extra power dissipation. The simulation results show that the static power consumption of Wang´s OTA [1990] using the proposed method can be reduced from 244 μW to 46 μW
