Design of OTA with Common Drain and Folded Cascade Used in ADC
In this report, an OTA which is used in fully
differential pipelined ADC was described. Using gain-boost
architecture with difference-ended amplifier, this OTA achieve
high-gain and high-speed. Besides, the CMFB circuit is also used, and
some methods are concerned to improve the performance. Then, by
optimization the layout design, OTA-s mismatch was reduced. This
design was using TSMC 0.18um CMOS process and simulation both
schematic and layout in Cadence. The result of the simulation shows
that the OTA has a gain up to 80dB,a unity gain bandwidth of about
1.437GHz for a 2pF load, a slew rate is about 428V/μs, a output swing
is 0.2V~1.35V, with the power supply of 1.8V, the power
consumption is 88mW. This amplifier was used in a 10bit 150MHz
pipelined ADC.
