Abstract

This paper describes two floating-gate OTAs (FG-OTAs). The OTAs have a pFET input stage and employ current mirror topology. A floating-gate (FG) common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit as well as a conventional CMFB circuit is described for use with these OTAs. Their performance is compared. Expressions are derived for the differential and common-mode frequency-response of the OTAs. Typical simulation and experimental results are shown for prototypes fabricated in a 0.5μm CMOS process available through MOSIS. The prototype operate from a single 3.3V supply with typical bias currents in the 10-100 nA range. A second order G_m-C filter section was built from these OTAs and the experimental results are presented.
