This paper presents an ultra-low power CMOS amplifier (AMP) using a simple and novel adaptive biasing current circuit (ABCC). The circuit uses a nano-ampere current source to achieve nano-watt power dissipation and the adaptive biasing technique to achieve high speed operation. The ABCC monitors the input voltages and supplies adaptive biasing current to the AMP. Because the adaptive biasing current...
