Abstract

See full text

A CMOS rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier has constant supply current with respect to the input signal's common mode voltage. By use of current bleeders, i.e. a smaller transistor of opposite conductivity type connected in parallel with each transistor in the differential pair of transistors, there is provided constant transconductance and constant supply current for rail-to-rail operation with respect to the positive and negative supply voltages. This allows production of a low cost, high performance and small area rail-to-rail input/output operational amplifier.
