Abstract
This study describes a high-performance second-generation Current Conveyor (CCII) operating at 0.35 V and achieving rail-to-rail operation at the Y terminal and class AB current drive at the X and Z terminals. The solution utilizes a low-voltage subthreshold bulk-driven CMOS OTA that was experimentally developed earlier, making systematic use of body terminals to improve small-signal and large-signal performance. The circuit has a high open-loop voltage gain and uses cascoded current mirror topologies, resulting in precise voltage and current transfer with bandwidths of 1.33 MHz and 2.13 MHz, respectively. The CCII offers a linear current drive up to 2.5 µA while consuming a total quiescent current of 2.86 µA (758 nA in the output branches), displaying one the highest figures of merit in terms of current utilization for sub 1 V solutions.
