  • This paper presents a two-stage power-efficient class-AB operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) based on an adaptive biasing circuit suited to low-power dissipation and low-voltage operation. The OTA shows significant improvements in driving capability and power dissipation owing to the novel adaptive biasing circuit. The OTA dissipates only $0.4{\mu}W$ from a supply voltage of ${\pm}0.6V$ and exhibits excellent high driving, which results in a slew rate improvement of more than 250 times that of the conventional class-AB amplifier. The design is fabricated using $0.18-{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

  • A grounded inductor is proposed which contains only one resistor and operational amplifier. The circuit uses the inherent frequency dependent characteristic of an amplifier to simulate the inductor. A parallel resonance circuit is constructed with the proposed circuit. It has been proved by the experimental results of the resonant circuit that the proposed circuit is equivalent to the grounded lossy inductor. The lossy inductor is imbedded in a passive bandstop prototype, and the resultant characteristic curve has been verified by the experiment.

  • This paper presents a method for minimizing standby power consumption in wireless power transfer (WPT) system via magnetic resonance coupling (MRC) that operates at 6.78 MHz. The proposed circuit controls the required capacitance according to operational condition in order to reduce standby power consumption. Based on an impedance characteristic of the class-E power amplifier, operational principles of the proposed circuit are analyzed. Moreover, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed class-E power amplifier, an 8 W prototype for WPT system is implemented. The measured input power of the proposed class-E power amplifier at standby condition is reduced from 5.81 W to 3.53 W.

  • It is necessary that fully differential operational amplifier circuit should drive an external load in the VLSI design such as SCF(Switched Capacitor Filter), D/A Converter, A/D Converter, Telecommunication Circuit and etc. The conventional CMOS operational amplifier circuit has many problems according to CMOS technique. Firstly, Capacity of large loads are not able to operate well. The problem can be solve to use class AB stages. But large loads are operate a difficult, because an element of existing CMOS has a quadratic functional relation with input and output voltage versus output current. Secondly, Whole circuit of dynamic range decrease, because a range of input and output voltages go down according as increasing of intergration rate drop supply voltage. The problem can be improved by employing fully differential operational amplifier using differential output stage with wide output swing. In this paper, we proposed new current mirror has large output impedance and good current matching with input an output current and compared with characteristics for operational amplifier using cascoded current mirror. To obtain large output swing and low power consumption we suggest a fully differential operational amplifier. The circuit employs an output stage composed new current mirror and two amplifier stage. The proposed circuit is layout and circuit of capability is inspected through simulation program(SPICE3f).

  • A prototype of photoelectric photometer has been developed by all solid state operational amplifiers. The amplification of low-level anode currents from photomultiplier tube corresponding to a given incident light intensity and logarithmic transfer for star's magnitude nleasurements are achieved by the same operational amplifier. It is important to select low input bias currents for stable performance because the resolution is primarily limited by the bias currents. As such, they offer a higher reliable and economical for a large number of electrometer amplifier applications which have traditionaly been fulfilled by vacuum electrometer tubes or vibrating reed electrometers.

  • In this paper, we designed a 2-stage CMOS operational amplifier with temperature compensation function using 2-poly 4-metal 0.35 $\mu$m standard CMOS technology. Using two bias circuits, the positive temperature coefficient(PTC) and the negative temperature coefficient(NTC) of the bias circuit are canceled out each other. When reference current circuit is simulated that it has a temperature coefficient of -150 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ with a temperature change from 0 $^{\circ}C$ to 120 $^{\circ}C$. Also the proposed circuit has a temperature coefficient of -0.011 dB/$^{\circ}C$ of DC open loop gain with the same temperature range.
