Abstract:
This paper presents a driver amplifier with high bandwidth-power efficiency, high capacitor-driving capacity, and low total harmonic distortion (THD). One complementary differential pair composed of self-cascode transistors is incorporated to obtain a full input voltage swing. Flipped voltage follower (FVF) buffers are applied as second stage to drive the last class-AB output stage. Moreover, a dual-loop active-feedback frequency compensation (DLAFC) is presented, which can stabilize the proposed multistage amplifier and keep the dominant pole on high frequency to obtain high-frequency total harmonic distortion (THD) suppression. To achieve a low-frequency phase margin protection (PMP), one left half-plane (LHP) zero is introduced to compensate for the nondominant pole caused by the load capacitor. Meanwhile, two high-frequency LHP zeros are injected to achieve high-frequency phase margin boosting (PMB) and reduce the amplifier's settling time and integration area. This proposed amplifier is implemented in a standard DBH 0.18 mu m 5 V CMOS process, and it achieves over 115-dB DC gain, 150-300 MHz GBW under 0-100 p load capacitors, ultra-high THD2,3 suppression ranges from 100 kHz to 10 MHz under 1-2 V output swing, and over 250 V/mu s average slew rate, by only dissipating 12.5 mW at 5 V power supply.
