Abstract
A fully-digital operational transconductance amplifier (DIGOTA) architecture for tightly energy-constrained low-cost systems is presented. A 180nm DIGOTA testchip exhibits an area below the 1,000-μm2 wall, and 2.4-nW power under 150pF load, and a minimum supply voltage Vmin of 0.25 V. In the 0.3-0.5 V supply range, DIGOTA improves the areanormalized small (large) signal energy FoM by at least 836X (267X) over prior sub-500mV OTAs, while reducing area by 27-85X. The low-Vmin and nW-power features are shown to enable direct harvesting at the mm scale.
