Design and Simulation of Transconductance with Capacitances Feedback Compensation Amplifier

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a low-power multistage amplifier with a novel Transconductance with Capacitances Feedback Compensation (TCFC) technique. A transconductance stage and two capacitors introduce negative feedback to a three-stage amplifier, which significantly improves the performance such as gain-bandwidth product, slew rate, stability and sensitivity. Implemented in a commercial 0.5-μm CMOS technology and driving 10pF capacitive load, a three-stage TCFC amplifier achieves over 120dB gain, 1.515MHz GBW and 1.3V/μS average slew rate, while only dissipating 380μW under 3.3V supply.
