It requires minimum extra hardware and no additional power consumption. A dynamic biased telescopic op-amp is discussed as an application example. Experimental results of a fabricated test chip in 0.5 mm CMOS technology are presented that verify the proposed technique. r 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
