A new switched-capacitor (SC) common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit for fully-differential operational amplifiers (op-amps) is presented. By reducing the amplifier capacitive load with respect to conventional SC-CMFB schemes, the proposed solution guarantees a significant improvement of the op-amp speed performance. A typical SC integrator employing the new CMFB has also been designed in 0.35 mu m CMOS technology. Simulation results show that, for a given power consumption, the op-amp settling time can be about halved by using the proposed CMFB instead of the conventional one.

Abstract
A new switched-capacitor (SC) common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit for fully-differential operational amplifiers (op-amps) is presented. By reducing the amplifier capacitive load with respect to conventional SC-CMFB schemes, the proposed solution guarantees a significant improvement of the op-amp speed performance. A typical SC integrator employing the new CMFB has also been designed in 0.35 mu m CMOS technology. Simulation results show that, for a given power consumption, the op-amp settling time can be about halved by using the proposed CMFB instead of the conventional one.File in questo prodotto:
