Original Abstract

In this work, a novel differential active voltage attenuator that is capable for operation under low supply voltage and power consumption is presented. The proposed attenuator is based on bulk-driven MOS devices. Thanks to using the fully balanced differential structure, the attenuator demonstrates improved common-mode rejection capability. The attenuator has been fabricated using 180 nm TSMC CMOS technology with 0.5V power supply and 0.366 µW power consumption. The experimental results give a voltage attenuation around -6 dB, rail-to-rail input common-mode range (ICMR) and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) around 27.8 dB. As application example, a fully balanced differential amplifier is designed and simulated. The simulated and measurement results agree with the theory and confirm the robustness of the design.
