In order to enhance the current efficiency of gain-boosting OTA
the current recycling technique has been used in main OTA
auxiliary OTA and its common-mode feedback circuit. Implemented in 5 V HHGrace 0.35 m CMOS process
simulated results show that the improved OTA possesses high DC gain (> 121 dB)
high current efficiency (> 1 146 MHz*pF/mA) and wide differential output dynamic range (> 9 V).
