A power-efficient, process, voltage and temperature (PVT) robust g ds cancellation method for gain enhancement is proposed. The method generates a negative conductance, which matches and cancels the positive conductance. This makes the g ds cancellation method effective over process and wide temperature variation without the aid of external calibration or a tuning circuit. The method senses signals from cascode nodes instead of output nodes, making the method insensitive to output voltage swing. The simulation results of an example implementation in IBM 0.13 µm process show at least 22 dB DC gain enhancement over all process corners and temperatures ranging from − 20 to 80°C, with less than 9% power consumption overhead.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
