The objective of this project was to design a two stage operational amplifier to meet a list of given specifications using the TSMC 0.18 micron short channel process. All bias voltages were generated ...

Why discretes tend to win out over ICs when it comes to designing ‘folded cascode’ charge amplifiers. By Tolga Aydemir Integrated circuits (ICs) are vital in helping to reduce the cost, size and ...

This diagram shows the standard layout of transistors in cell phone power amplifiers, at left, and a new highly efficient amplifier design, at right. The new design could help make possible ...

Logical- and physical-synthesis tools have revolutionized digital-ASIC design over the past decade, increasing chip functions and designer productivity. However, many of today's SOC (system-on-chip) ...

Amplifiers in cascode Configuration and their variations are generally used to overcome Miller Capacitance, improve the small signal gain and output impedance. Increasing number of transistors in ...

Transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs) implemented in CMOS technology remain critical components in a wide range of applications, from optical communication systems to sensing and instrumentation. These ...

The power factor corrector (PFC) front end of an off-line power supply is subject to the operating frequency limitation caused by the Miller Effect of its associated power MOSFET. This effect is a ...
