Summary: The design of bandgap-based voltage references in digital CMOS raises several design difficulties, as the supply voltage is lower than the silicon bandgap in electron volts, i.e., 1.2 V. A current-mode architecture is used in order to address the mai.....
The questions are:
1. How to realize the common mode feedback by using m1, m2, m0a and m0b in the input stage.
2. The m1, m2 m0a and m0b operate in weak inversion. How to achieve 60 dB DC gain of such amplifier?
3. Does m5 and m6 operate in weak inversion too, or in saturation region?
Thank you!!
