A novel ultra-low power amplifier is presented, composed of a Nauta amplifier (1 st stage) and a digital OTA (2 nd stage). This configuration significantly improves the performance in terms of signal distortion, by allowing the DIGOTA to work in a better operating window. The proposed amplifier has been a validated through simulations in TSMC 0.18 μm and compared to the DIGOTA: when used as a voltage-follower it features a much lower output distortion, especially for low amplitude signals.

Abstract

A novel ultra-low power amplifier is presented, composed of a Nauta amplifier (1 st stage) and a digital OTA (2 nd stage). This configuration significantly improves the performance in terms of signal distortion, by allowing the DIGOTA to work in a better operating window. The proposed amplifier has been a validated through simulations in TSMC 0.18 μm and compared to the DIGOTA: when used as a voltage-follower it features a much lower output distortion, especially for low amplitude signals.
