A low-noise multipath operational amplifier with Gm-shared ping-pong and ripple averaging techniques
This paper presents a low-noise chopper-stabilized multipath operational amplifier with transconductance (Gm) sharing technique between ping-pong stages and ripple averaging technique. While the chopper stabilization is effective in reducing low-frequency noise and offset, output signals may yet contain ripples caused by the modulated amplifier offset. Several schemes can be implemented to suppress these output ripples; however, they require additional chip area and current consumption. The proposed ripple averaging technique effectively eliminates chopper ripples with very low additional power consumption of switched capacitors. To reduce the power consumption and circuit area, the Gm-shared ping-pong scheme is also proposed. The proposed circuit was implemented using a 0.18-μm CMOS process, with a total current consumption of 121.91 μA, and a supply voltage of 1.8 V. It occupies a chip area of 0.33 mm2 and exhibits an input-referred offset of 4.833 μV with a standard deviation 0.861 μV. The proposed amplifier has the input-referred noise level of 20.1 nV/√Hz.
