Abstract: The (3,-C technique is extensively used for continuous-time filtering applications because it results in tunable, wideband and compact designs. In this paper, an OTA capable of operating at a supply voltage of 0.9V is proposed using a novel bulk-input differential pair without the use of a tail current source. Good CMRR (63 dJ3) is still achieved by using the gate terminal to control the total current in the differentia1 pair, via the use of a dummy pair. The OTA also exhibits a wide differential input range of k 600mV and good G,- tunability. Simulation and test results are also presented with the OTA used in a second order cochlea low-pass filter. For this design, a standard double-poly double-metal CMOS process has been used, having a nominal threshold voltage of around 0.7 V.
