Complementary body driving - a low voltage analog circuit technique for SOI

This paper describes several analog circuit primitives that utilize the body terminal as a signal port. A cascode current mirror that can operate with an input and output voltage of 200 mV, and a rail-to-rail constant transconductance gain block capable of 1 V operation are presented. These circuits have been implemented in a standard 0.35 /spl mu/m partially-depleted silicon-on-insulator (PDSOI) CMOS process and should find wide application in next-generation analog circuit designs.
