Abstract

In order to reduce distortion due to the threshold voltage variations of an NMOS switch by the input signal, a novel low-voltage switch that compensates the body effect is proposed. The linearity performance of the proposed circuit is confirmed by simulation with a 0.5 μm standard CMOS technology (V_tn0=0.7 V, V_tp0=1.0 V). Simulations with HSPICE indicate better performance of the total harmonic distortion (THD) is achieved using the proposed circuit in a first-order non-inverting switched-capacitor (SC) low pass filter operating with a single 1.5-V power supply.
