Multipath chopper stabilized operational amplifier with a floating high-pass filter ripple reduction loop
This paper proposes a chopper-stabilized multipath operational amplifier with a floating high-pass filter (HPF) on the ripple rejection loop (RRL). Multipath amplifiers, combined with techniques such as chopping and auto-zeroing, effectively reduce noise and DC offset. In chopper amplifiers, high-order low-pass filters (LPFs) are commonly used to reduce output ripples, but they require a large area and limit the bandwidth. This issue can be resolved by adding an RRL to the low-frequency path (LFP). However, the RRL responds slowly to rapid changes in the common-mode voltage of the input signal. To improve this, a floating HPF is added to the RRL for faster common-mode response. The proposed amplifier is implemented in a 180-nm CMOS process with an active area of 0.95 mm2, and the total current consumption is 108.7 μA with a 1.8 V supply voltage. The input-referred noise and noise efficiency factor (NEF) are 18.3 nV/√Hz and 4.17, respectively.
