Summary :

This paper proposes an ultra-low-voltage, wide signal swing, and clock-scalable differential dynamic amplifier using a common-mode voltage detection technique. The essential characteristics of an amplifier, such as gain, linearity, power consumption, noise, etc., are analyzed. In measurement, the proposed dynamic amplifier achieves a 13dB gain with less than 1dB drop over a differential output signal swing of 340mV_pp with a supply voltage of 0.5V. The attained maximum operating frequency is 700MHz. With a 0.7V supply, the gain increases to 16dB with a signal swing of 700mV_pp. The prototype amplifier is fabricated in 90nm CMOS technology with the low threshold voltage and the deep N-well options.
