A Low-Power Current-Reuse LNA for 3D Ultrasound Beamformers
2021
IEICE Transactions on Fundamentals of Electronics Communications and Computer Sciences
3D ultrasound imagers require low-noise amplifier (LNA) with much lower power consumption and smaller chip area than conventional 2D imagers because of the huge amount of transducer channels. This paper presents a low-power small-size LNA with a novel currentreuse circuitry for 3D ultrasound imaging systems. The proposed LNA is composed of a differential common source amplifier and a source-follower driver which share the current without using inductors. The LNA was fabricated in a 0.18-µm CMOS
