一种恒定跨导、摆率和增益的轨至轨运放(英文)

Rail-to-rail op-amp with constant transconductance,SR and gain

提出了一种新型的通用低压轨至轨CMOS运放.该运放在整个输入共模电压范围内获得了恒定的跨导、摆率和恒定的高增益.所提出的电路有应用于深亚微米工艺的潜力,因为运放电路的运行不依赖于晶体管平方率或线性率的约束.因此该电路比较紧凑,适用于VLSI单元的应用.轨至轨CMOS运放采用DPDM CMOS混合信号工艺设计,模拟结果表明在整个输入共模电压范围内,跨导、摆率和增益的波动分别为1%,2.3%和1.36dB.在此基础上进行了版图设计和流片测试,版图面积为0.072mm2,实际测试结果与模拟结果基本一致.

A novel general-purpose low-voltage rail-to-rail CMOS （ complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor transistor ） operational amplifier （op-amp）is introduced, which obtains constant transconductance, slew rate and constant high gain over the entire input common mode voltage range. The proposed scheme has the potential for applications in deep submicrometer technology, as the operation of the circuit does not exclusively rely on the square-law or the linear-law of transistors. The scheme is compact and suitable for applications as VLSI cell. The rail-to- rail op-amp has been implemented in DPDM 0. 6 μm mixedsignal process. The simulations show that in the entire range of input common mode voltage, the variations in transconductance, SR and gain are 1%, 2. 3%, 1.36 dB, respectively. Based on this, the layout and tape-out are carded out. The area of layout is 0. 072 mm^2. The test results are basically consistent with the circuit simulation.
