Abstract :
In this paper a hybrid multi-tanh bulk-driven input stage OTA for low total harmonic distortion (THD) biomedical Gm-C applications in weak inversion is presented. The proposed OTA was successfully simulated in an 130-nm IBM CMOS process. The simulations show an open loop gain of 46.4 dB and a unit gain frequency of 125 Hz with only 500 mV of power supply voltage and just 25 nW of power consumption. The transconductance is 24 nS with 300 mVpp of linear input range (HD3 ≤ - 60 dB), which is suitable for low-frequency and low-THD biomedical Gm-C applications.
