This study investigates the closed-loop performance of the basic current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA), with particular emphasis on its dynamic response. It also focuses on the design, performance and advantages of the CFOA in its ability to provide a substantially constant closed-loop bandwidth for closed-loop voltage gain. Furthermore, an improved CFOA with wide bandwidth and common-mode-rejection ratio (CMRR) performance is also presented. The design presented in this article uses a bootstrapping technique with Quasi-Darlington in the input stage to reduce the influence of the Early effect which results in improved performance. Another advantage of this design is that the inverting input impedance is reduced significantly, which leads to further improvement in bandwidth and CMRR.

This paper considers the trade-offs involved in the design of six new input stages intended to improve the performance of a current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA), over that possible using an established input circuit configuration, with respect to three major characteristics, viz, common mode rejection ratio (CMRR), offset voltage and slew-rate.

In this paper a microwatt low voltage bandgap reference suitable for the bio-medical application. The Present technique relies on the principle of generating CTAT and PTAT without using any (Bipolar Junction Transistor) BJT and adding them with a proper scaling factor for minimal temperature sensitive reference voltage. Beta multiplier reference circuit has been explored to generate CTAT and PTAT. Implemented in 45nm CMOS technology and simulated with Spectre. Simulation results shows that the proposed reference circuit exhibits 1.2% variation at nominal 745mV output voltage. The circuit consumes 16uW from 0.8V supply and occupying 0.004875mm2 silicon area.
