Folded cascode OTA design for wide band applications

This paper deals with design and optimization of a folded cascode operational transconductance amplifier. First, a detailed description of an optimum OTA topology is done in order to optimize MOS transistor sizing. Second, the design of folded cascode OTA, which works for frequencies that lead to a base band circuit design for RF application, is based on transistor sizing methodology. Third, folded cascode OTAs generally find several applications that are well developed. Simulation results are performed using SPICE software and BSIM3V3 model for CMOS 0.35mum process, show that the designed folded cascode OTA has a 85dB DC gain and provides a gain bandwidth product of around 332MHz
