Abstract
Power consumption is a key point in the design of high-speed switched capacitor (SC) circuits, which allow to efficiently implement a number of analog functions. Among them, SC Sigma Delta modulators are very popular for A/D conversion: in this kind of circuits, operational amplifiers are the most consuming cells because of their requirements in terms of DC gain and unity-gain frequency. A new amplifier with 110dB DC gain and a unity-gain frequency of 250MHz is presented The large power consumption (20mW) makes critical its use in commercial applications: however; combining this cell with a fast adaptive biasing circuit, high performance may be achieved with a reasonable dissipationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
