Abstract

In this paper, a fully differential difference amplifier (FDDA) designed in 0.35[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS technology is presented. The proposed amplifier reaches high dynamic range (DR) and low input referred noise. Comparison of noise performance of the proposed FDDA to an ordinary differential amplifier has been performed. Achieved results prove that the developed amplifier circuit can be advantageously used in applications that require a fully differential signal. Then, simulation results have been verified by the measurement of prototyped chips. In our work, the proposed amplifier was experimentally employed in the analog frontend of the readout interface (RI) for a Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) capacitive microphone.
