Abstract:
Precision operational amplifiers (op-amps) adopt dynamic offset compensation (DOC) techniques to achieve microvolt-level offset and nanovolt-level noise. However, the switches in DOC introduce charge injection, which is a major source of current noise and residual offset. Charge-injection-induced glitches need to be attenuated via low-pass filtering, which decreases the usable signal bandwidth. This article proposes a six-channel precision op-amp with multiphase switch reuse, designed and simulated in a 0.18μm CMOS process with a 1.032 mm2 active area. Compared with the traditional ping-pong architecture, the six-channel op-amp effectively reduces the required switch width, thereby decreasing the amount of charge injection. The multiphase switch reuse technique reduces the frequency of charge injection per channel and shifts the noise spikes generated by the switches to higher frequencies. Therefore, the proposed circuit allows the cutoff frequency of the post-low-pass filter to be increased, effectively removing the limitations on the overall system's signal transmission bandwidth imposed by the front-end amplifier. These techniques results in an input-referred noise density of 8 nV/Hz, an input offset voltage of 2.46 μV, an offset drift of 24.65 nV/°C, and a gain–bandwidth product of 5.3 MHz. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
