A modified structure of operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) in CMOS 65-nm technology with signal-current enhancer and slew-rate (SR) helper is presented in this paper. The bias current is chosen to be lower than 0.1 μA to reduce the overdrive voltage requirement and thus make the amplifier survive under 0.7 V supply. An SR helper is also introduced to improve the transient performance. As...

A low-dropout regulator (LDR) using an ultra-fast error amplifier (EA) and ultra-fast unity-gain buffer (UGB) is proposed in this paper. By inserting a UGB between the EA and the inverting second stage, the non-dominant poles are pushed to high frequencies to achieve large loading capability and wide loop bandwidth with good stability. High power supply rejection (PSR) up to very high frequencies...
This paper presents a new electronically tunable voltage-mode quadrature sinusoidal oscillator employing four single-ended operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and two grounded capacitors.
