0.5-V High Linear and Wide Tunable OTA for Biomedical Applications

This paper presents a low-voltage nano-power multiple-input operational transconductance amplifier (MI-OTA) with high linearity performance and increased input voltage swing. The enhanced performances are achieved thanks to employing several techniques as the bulk-driven, source-degeneration, self-c...

description This paper presents a low-voltage nano-power multiple-input operational transconductance amplifier (MI-OTA) with high linearity performance and increased input voltage swing. The enhanced performances are achieved thanks to employing several techniques as the bulk-driven, source-degeneration, self-cascode and negative conductance along with the concept of the input signal attenuation formed by multiple-input MOS transistor. The MI-OTA is widely tunable that serves for biological signals processing. A 3<sup>rd</sup>-order Butterworth band-pass filter (BPF) for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal processing with 55.8 dB dynamic rang is presented. The MI-OTA circuit is designed for 0.5V voltage supply and offers a 0.22&#x0025; total harmonic distortion (THD) for 0.2V<sub>pp</sub> input signal with total power consumption of 13.4nW. Extensive simulation results including Monte Carlo analysis and process, voltage, temperature (PVT) corners using the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.18\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> CMOS technology from TSMC confirm the characteristics of the proposed MI-OTA and the filter.
