Abstract
The present work highlights the usefulness of underlap channel design in improving gain-bandwidth trade-off in analog circuit design. It is demonstrated that high values of intrinsic voltage gain (AVO_OTA) > 55 dB and unity gain frequency (fT_OTA) ~ 57 GHz of a folded cascode Operational transconductance Amplifier (OTA) can be achieved with gate-underlap channel design in 60 nm MOSFETs. These values correspond to a 15 dB improvement in AVO_OTA and a 3 fold enhancement in fT_OTA over a conventional non-underlap design. Gate-underlap OTA preserves functionality at high temperatures (550 K) by exhibiting high values of AVO_OTA (42 dB) and fT_OTA (24 GHz). Results present new opportunities for low voltage analog circuit design with future technologies.
