Transconductance stabilization circuit Literature reference : M.M. Ahmadi, R. Lotfi, M. Sharif-Bakhtiar, “A New Architecture for Rail-to-Rail Input Constant-gm, CMOS OperationaI Transconductance Amplifiers ” , ISLPED ‘03 ECE 4430 Project2 Presentation
INITIAL DESIGN STEPS • Redesigned BMR with 5uA reference current • Designed short channel biasing circuit • Total current budget = 75uA for a max power consumption of 150uW • The transconductances of the PMOS NMOS pair of amplifying devices were made equal by sizing the PMOS to NMOS in the ratio kpn:kpp (5:1) • Current combining stage is made low voltage headroom cascode with floating current sources for proper biasing. • The transconductance stage of diffamp was biased with 5uA each and the summing stage was designed for a current of 30uA • For a rail to rail output swing, we designed a class AB push pull amplifier • Using CC= 0.22CL caused the bandwidth to be about 100Hz only. • Compensation capacitor was fine tuned iteratively to achieve a desired phase margin and maximum bandwidth possible.

DEVIATION FROM SPECS ECE 4430 Project2 Presentation
CONCLUSION • We observed that increasing the compensation capacitance improves the phase margin at the cost of bandwidth. • For our case, the degradation in phase margin did not trade off for an appreciable increase in bandwidth. • Better common mode rejection was achieved by cascoding the tail current sources. • A gain of 95dB is not significantly deviated from 100dB because the OPAMP operates mainly as a feedback amplifier. • Since phase margin is high enough, no ringing is observed for a step response ECE 4430 Project2 Presentation
