Compact Low-Voltage and High-Speed CMOS, BiCMOS and Bipolar
Operational Amplifiers discusses the design of integrated operational
amplifiers that approach the limits of low supply voltage or very high
bandwidth. The resulting realizations span the whole field of
applications from micro-power CMOS VLSI amplifiers to 1-GHz bipolar
amplifiers.
The book presents efficient circuit topologies in order to combine high
performance with simple solutions. In total twelve amplifier
realizations are discussed. Two bipolar amplifiers are discussed, a
1-GHz operational amplifier and an amplifier with a high ratio between
the maximum output current and the quiescent current. Five amplifiers
have been designed in CMOS technology, extremely compact circuits that
can operate on supply voltages down to one gate-source voltage and two
saturation voltages which equals about 1.4 V and, ultimate-low-voltage
amplifiers that can operate on supply voltages down to one gate-source
voltage and one saturation voltage which amounts to about 1.2 V. In
BiCMOS technology five amplifiers have been designed. The first two
amplifiers are based on a compact topology. Two other amplifiers are
designed to operate on low supply voltages down to 1.3 V. The final
amplifier has a unity-gain frequency of 200 MHz and can operate down to
2.5 V.
Compact Low-Voltage and High-Speed CMOS, BiCMOS and Bipolar
Operational Amplifiers is intended for the professional analog
designer. Also, it is suitable as a text book for advanced courses in
amplifier design.
