Abstract :
Low voltage operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) using cross-forward common-mode cancellation has been designed. Self-cascode transistors pairs are used to attain gaining enhancement. The OTA configuration biased on sub-threshold region to work by low voltage power supply has been proposed. To increase bandwidth and speed of the circuit, this OTA configuration combines innovative miller compensation method with feed-forward for phase compensation. OTA is designed and simulated in 180nm CMOS process technology in 0.5 V power supply and 200×60µm chip area. The power consumption of the circuit is 500 μW. The OTA has a simulated 73.6-dB DC gain, a 92-MHz gain-bandwidth, and a 47° phase margin for a load capacitor of 20 pF.
