A new offset cancellation ~e c h n~~u e for CMOS tial amplifiers is presented where the input offset is reduced by a factor set by the voltage gain in a f~~d b~c~ loop. This approach does not require any active and D/A converters, and can be utilized in the design of operational amplifiers and voltage comparators built in a standard CMQS technology. The input offset voltage is constantly adjusted for improved time and temperature stability. The effect of clock feedthrough voltage on the input offset is reduced by employing a new low frequency clocking scheme with long rise and fall times. Continuous operation is achieved by using B parallel processing configuration where two amplifiers operate sequentially for half of each clock period.Power consumption and die area are considerably lower than any other method with equivalent performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
