NOVEL CMOS REALIZATIONS OF THE OPERATIONAL FLOATING CONVEYOR AND APPLICATIONS

Abstract

This paper presents novel CMOS realizations of the operational floating conveyor (OFC) based on novel block diagrams. It also introduces novel applications based on one of the proposed OFC realizations. The proposed OFC realization provides a wide bandwidth and a large gain bandwidth product. Hence, it exhibits wide bandwidth at higher gains. All the circuits in this paper are designed following a fair comparison criterion. The supply voltages are ±1.5 V . The reference DC current source IB is taken as 50 μA. The CMOS model for all circuits is identical. The transistor model is 0.5 μm CMOS process provided by MOSIS (AGILENT).
