Abstract

The present invention provides a transconductance amplifier comprising an input circuit, a gain circuit and an output circuit which are successively connected. The gain circuit comprises a MOS transistor array composed of a plurality of MOS transistors, grids of the corresponding MOS transistors between every two adjacent columns of the MOS transistor array are connected, the MOS transistors in each column of the MOS transistors are successively connected, and compensation capacitors are arranged between asymmetrical connection points of the MOS transistors in the output column of the MOS transistor array and an output terminal of the output circuit. According to the transconductance amplifier, compared with a traditional frequency compensation technology, dominant pole frequency of the transconductance amplifier can be reduced through increasing capacitance values of the compensation capacitors, right half plane zero frequency of the transconductance amplifier can also be prevented from being reduced, so that a distance between the dominant pole frequency and the right half plane zero frequency of the transconductance amplifier can be increased, the influence of frequency compensation on frequency characteristics of the transconductance amplifier can be reduced, unity-gain bandwidth of the transconductance amplifier can be improved, and the problem that the transconductance amplifier is possibly unstable can be solved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of analog or digital-analog hybrid integrated circuits, and in particular relates to a transconductance amplifier. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of integrated circuit design technology, transconductance amplifiers are more and more used in the field of analog integrated circuit design. In order to obtain a larger phase margin, frequency compensation is usually performed on the transconductance amplifier. The traditional frequency compensation technique is to reduce the frequency of the main pole of the transconductance amplifier. Specifically, a transconductance amplifier generally includes an input circuit, a gain circuit and an output circuit. In the prior art, a compensation capacitor is usually provided between the output end of the gain circuit and the output end of the output circuit, and the dominant pole frequency of the transconductance amplifier is reduced by...
