Abstract

This brief presents a Mirrored Dynamic Amplifier (MDA) to enhance the swing and gain of prior art dynamic amplifiers (DAs). Instead of compensating the charge loss in the load capacitors due to the common-mode current, this technique resolves the dependency between common-mode and differential-mode currents. The differential and regulated common-mode currents are mirrored to the output branch for integration on the load capacitors. Furthermore, the output branch is made of only one transistor, which makes the proposed architecture to benefit from large output swing. An output swing of 1.272Vppdiff can be achieved with a supply voltage of 1.2V. In addition, a pre-discharge linearization technique is presented to compensate for nonlinearity induced by the current regulation mechanism, that results in an average improvement of 6 dB in THD. The proposed DA is designed and verified in a 65nm CMOS process. Post-layout simulation results show that gains of $16\times $ and $32\times $ can be achieved, along with output swings of 640 mVppdiff and 800 mVppdiff, respectively, while maintaining THDs better than −62 dB. A noise analysis and a detailed comparison of the proposed MDA with a few state-of-the-art designs are also elaborated.
摆幅增益增强镜像动态放大器
本文简要介绍了一种镜像动态放大器(MDA),以提高现有技术动态放大器(DAs)的摆幅和增益。该技术解决了共模电流和差模电流之间的依赖关系,而不是补偿负载电容器中由于共模电流造成的电荷损失。差动和稳压共模电流被镜像到输出支路,在负载电容上进行集成。此外,输出支路仅由一个晶体管组成,这使得所提出的结构受益于大输出摆幅。当电源电压为1.2V时,输出摆幅可达1.272Vppdiff。此外,提出了一种预放电线性化技术来补偿电流调节机制引起的非线性,使THD平均提高了6 dB。提出的数据处理系统在65nm CMOS工艺中进行了设计和验证。布局后仿真结果表明,可以实现16倍和32倍的增益,输出振荡分别为640 mVppdiff和800 mVppdiff,同时保持优于- 62 dB的THDs。此外,本文还详细分析了拟议的导弹防御系统与一些最先进的设计方案的噪音分析和比较。
