Digital Amplifiers
This talk provides a comprehensive review of the evolution of the Digital-Based Operational Transconductance Amplifier (DB-OTA). Initially introduced to tackle the challenges associated with implementing analog functions in aggressively scaled technology nodes, the DB-OTA has undergone significant advancements over the years. We will explore the journey from the first proof-of-concept prototype to the latest innovations that emphasize ultra-compact area, ultra-low voltage, and ultra-low power solutions. In discussing these improvements, we will highlight the enhanced performance metrics of the DB-OTA and its promising potential in addressing the specific requirements of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes and next-generation biosensing applications. This exploration not only underscores the technological advancements in the field but also aims to educate a broad audience about the significance and implications of these developments in modern electronics. Through this review, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the DB-OTA's role in shaping the future of digital and analog integration in various applications. By delving into the intricacies of the DB-OTA's evolution, this talk sheds light on its undefined potential to revolutionize how we approach sensor technology and biosensing in our increasingly digital world.
