Abstract
The current-mode folding amplifier is a current-mode saw-tooth folding amplifier having a minimal number of current mirrors in the signal path from input to output. This minimizes the delays imposed by current mirrors on the speed of the amplifier. The amplifier has a full scale delay of 5.9 ns. The operation of the amplifier is verified in simulation using LFoundry 150 nm process in Cadence Tools.
