Operational Transconductance Amplifier in 350nm CMOS technology

Abstract

This paper presents transistor level design of operational transconductance amplifier in CMOS technology. Custom designed, circuit is to be built-in into the mixed-signal, switched capacitor circuit. Amplifier targets relatively high slew-rate and moderate open loop gain with megahertz order gain-bandwidth. Adopted architecture is discussed appreciating application in switched capacitor circuits. Circuit behavior is examined through set of simulations. Obtained results confirmed desired behavior. Target technology process is TSMC 350nm.
