Square Wave Generator with Current Amplifier using DTMOS Technique

Abstract

This paper presents a current amplifier (CA)based square wave generator using the DTMOS technique for low power consumption, which are simulated using Cadence in 90nm and 180nm technology. The existing design had a power consumption of 11μW with a supply voltage of +0.75 V and -0.75 V. The proposed square wave generator which is designed using DTMOS had average power consumption around 9μW which gave 18% reduction in power consumption with a supply voltage of +0.75 V and -0.75 V in 90nm technology and about 26% power reduction in 180nm.
