Abstract

In this paper we present a current starved pseudo-floating- gate (PFG) amplifier. The PFG amplifier will suppress low frequency components due to a local feedback. PFG circuits can be utilized for low voltage (LV) binary-, multiple valued logic and analog circuits. Typical applications are detection of high frequency components in sensor signals, i.e. airbag sensors. A differential LV amplifier is presented. Simulated data is valid for a 90 nm CMOS process with at threshold voltage equal to 0.25 V. The simulated data presented are obtained using Spectres in the Cadence simulator environment.
