14 June 2002 P.Pangaud FPPA2001 2nd Design Review 3 Status (1) Problems discovered in the FPPA2001 output buffer. Extrinsic problem. Faster slew-rate from FPU impose to increase slew-rate and improve stability. Intrinsic problems. Bad Slew rate in the PNP emitter follower of the input stage (PPbuffer cell). –Rise time variation versus amplitude. Voltage variation on the bias lines nbias and pbias. –Oscillation during settling time.

14 June 2002 P.Pangaud FPPA2001 2nd Design Review 6 Status (4) Bad response of Output Buffer Consequently, bad settling time and bad resolution ( + a little oscillation)

14 June 2002 P.Pangaud FPPA2001 2nd Design Review 9 Modifications To improve slew-rate and stability, we must modify local bias and buffer architecture Add 2 emitter followers in parallel for improving the slew rate This lower the impedance of the bias lines mbias and pbias Add 5K resistor Add a booster Add extra vdda connection from bias generator
