Abstract

Novel floating gate MOSFET (FGMOS) based low-voltage analog circuits such as current-to-voltage converter, current-mode divider and pseudo-exponential function generator are proposed in this paper. The inherent advantages of these circuits are their simplicity, accuracy and low power dissipation. The current-to-voltage converter is operated with a single power supply of 0.9V. The current-mode divider and pseudo-exponential function generator are operated at supply voltages of +/-0.9V. It was observed that the power dissipation of the current-to-voltage converter is reduced to 12@mW using a single power supply. The power dissipations of the current-mode divider and pseudo-exponential function generator are found to be 356 and 471@mW, respectively. The proposed circuits are simulated using SPICE in 0.5@mm CMOS process technology to demonstrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed circuits.
