Simulation Results

Continuous time common mode feedback (CMFB) circuits for low voltage, low power applications are proposed. Four circuits are proposed for gate/bulk-driven pseudo-differential transconductors operating on sub-1-V power supply. The circuits are validated for a bulk-driven pseudo-differential transconductor operating on 0.5[Formula: see text]V in 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m standard CMOS technology. Simulation results reveal that the proposed CMFB circuits offer power efficient solution for setting the output common mode of the transconductors. They also load the transconductor capacitively offering capacitance of about 1[Formula: see text]fF to tens of femto farads.

Speed And Accuracy

A high-speed and high-accuracy continuous-time common-mode feedback block (CMFB) is presented. To satisfy speed and accuracy requirements, some modifications have been applied on differential difference amplifier (DDA) CMFB circuit. The proposed method is applied to a folded cascode op-amp with power supply of 3.3 V. In order to verify the proposed circuit, simulations are done in 0.35 μm standard CMOS technology. In the worst condition when the output common-mode (CM) voltage is initialized to VCC or GND, only 1.1 ns is required to set the output CM voltage on the desired level. Also in a wide range of input CM voltage variations, the deviation of the output CM voltage from reference voltage is less than 6 mV, so simulation results confirm the expected accuracy and speed while simultaneously the proposed CMFB circuit preserves other characteristics of DDA CMFB circuit such as unity gain frequency, 3-dB bandwidth, phase margin and linearity.

Differential Difference Amplifier

A continuous-time common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit for low-power, area-constrained neural recording amplifiers is proposed. The proposed CMFB circuit is compact; it can be realized by simply replacing passive components with transistors in a low-noise folded cascode operational transconductance amplifier (FC-OTA) that is one of the most widely adopted OTAs for neural recording amplifiers. The proposed CMFB also consumes no additional power, i.e., no separate CMFB amplifier is required, thus, it fits well to low-power, area-constrained multichannel neural recording amplifiers. The proposed CMFB is analyzed in the implementation of a fully differential AC-coupled neural recording amplifier and compared with that of an identical neural recording amplifier using a conventional differential difference amplifier-based CMFB in 0.18 μm CMOS technology post-layout simulations. The AC-coupled neural recording amplifier with the proposed CMFB occupies ~37% less area and consumes ~11% smaller power, providing 2.67× larger output common mode (CM) range without CM bandwidth sacrifice in the comparison.
