 A new technique is presented in this paper for the design of a Hybrid TFT operational amplifier made by morphous Silicon thin film transistor and MOSFET which operates at 3V power supply. The OPAMP designed is a two-stage Hybrid TFT OPAMP followed by an output buffer. This Operational Amplifier employs a Miller capacitor and is compensated with a current buffer compensation technique. The unique behaviour of the MOS transistors in saturation region not only allows a designer to work at a low voltage, but also at high frequency. Designing of two-stage op-amps is a multi-dimensional-optimization problem where optimization of one or more parameters may easily result into degradation of others. As compared to the conventional approach, the proposed hybrid operational amplifier result in a higher unity gain amplifier under the same load condition. In this paper we analyze the results of non-inverting amplifier, inverting amplifier, differential amplifier, differentiator and integrator of hybrid operational amplifier, using simulation with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (HSPICE).

Abstract


 A new technique is presented in this paper for the design of a Hybrid TFT operational amplifier made by morphous Silicon thin film transistor and MOSFET which operates at 3V power supply. The OPAMP designed is a two-stage Hybrid TFT OPAMP followed by an output buffer. This Operational Amplifier employs a Miller capacitor and is compensated with a current buffer compensation technique. The unique behaviour of the MOS transistors in saturation region not only allows a designer to work at a low voltage, but also at high frequency. Designing of two-stage op-amps is a multi-dimensional-optimization problem where optimization of one or more parameters may easily result into degradation of others. As compared to the conventional approach, the proposed hybrid operational amplifier result in a higher unity gain amplifier under the same load condition. In this paper we analyze the results of non-inverting amplifier, inverting amplifier, differential amplifier, differentiator and integrator of hybrid operational amplifier, using simulation with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (HSPICE).
