Abstract
AbstractThis study presents a high common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR), and high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) current-mode instrumentation amplifier (CMIA) to overcome the limitations of existing differential voltage second-generation current conveyors (DVCCII)-based CMIAs in achieving high CMRR. The design is based on a fully differential second-generation current conveyor block with a novel circuit design following by a current subtracting stage. The CMIA is designed and laid out in 130 nm CMOS technology operating under ± 1.2 V supply voltage in Cadence software. The post-layout simulation results show that the CMIA achieves low-frequency voltage and current CMRR- BW of 228.8 dB–10 kHz and 246 dB–10.6 kHz, respectively, with PSRR + /PSRR- of 108.2 dB/99.7 dB, power consumption of 507 µW, and a core area of 0.0015 mm2. The unique quality of the circuit is that, it does not need well-matched active blocks, but inherently improves CMRR, bandwidth, and PSRR; hence it gains an excellent choice for integration.
