A DC-to-44-GHz 19dB gain amplifier in 90nm CMOS using capacitive bandwidth enhancement

Abstract

A dc-to-44GHz amplifier with 19dB differential gain in a standard 90nm CMOS technology is presented. Capacitive bandwidth and group-delay enhancements are combined with series peaking in a shunt-peaking amplifier. The circuit occupies 0.02mm2 and dissipates 57mW at 1V. © 2006 IEEE.
