Abstract

In this paper, we presents the design and implementation of a BiCMOS operational amplifier topology that operates from a 2.5 V supply and achieves record gain-bandwidth performance. First, a fully-differential, single stage folded-cascode with tunable common-mode feedback is described. In order to improve the DC gain of this circuit, a second version is implemented with differential gain boosting and achieves 48 dB of gain while maintaining a unity gain bandwidth of 9 GHz.
