A power efficient and simple scheme for dynamically biasing cascode amplifiers and telescopic op-amps

A simple dynamic biasing scheme to extend the input/output range of cascode amplifiers is introduced. It requires minimum extra hardware and no additional power consumption. A dynamic biased telescopic op-amp is discussed as an application example. Experimental results of a fabricated test chip in [email protected] CMOS technology are presented that verify the proposed technique.
