摘要
A new frequency compensation technique for low-power, area-efficient multistage amplifiers is introduced. Using nested active capacitors, our scheme achieves better bandwidth-to-power and slew-rate-to-power performances than previous works. Implemented in standard 0.35μm CMOS technology, our three-stage amplifier achieves 105dB DC gain, 3.3M GBW,68 phase margin, and 2.56V/μs average slew rate under a 150pF capacitive load. All of these are realized with only 40μW power consumption under a 2V power supply,with very small compensation capacitors.
提出了一种新的用于低功耗,节省面积的三级放大器频率补偿技术.该技术将有源电容进行嵌套连接从而克服了传统的嵌套式密勒补偿与反嵌套式密勒补偿的缺点.当将这一技术用标准的0.35μm工艺设计成电路并负载150pF电容时,放大器实现了105dB直流增益,3.3M的增益带宽积,68°相位裕度以及2.56V/μs的平均转换速率.而这一切的实现是在2V电源电压下仅消耗40μW的功耗以及使用了很小的补偿电容.
