摘要
A low power digital operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) was developed for low voltage switched capacitor applications. The OTA has a high slew rate (SR) and a large open loop gain with a dif- ferential pseudo-two-stage Class-AB structure. A fully compensated depletion mode capacitor is used in the switched capacitor common mode feedback block instead of a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor to reduce the fabrication cost. Simulations show that with a 1.0-V supply voltage and a 34-pF load at each output terminal, this digital differential pseudo-two-stage Class-AB OTA realized in 0.13-μm technology achieves a 63.5-dB DC gain and a 0.83-V output swing. The slew rate is ±16.29V/μs and the total power dissipation is only 82 μW.
