Abstract The OTA is an amplifier whose differential input voltage produces an output current. Thus, it is a voltage controlled current source.
Operational transconductance amplifier is one of the most significant building-blocks in integrated continuous-time filters. A review of various
non-conventional analog design techniques has been done in this paper. Several previous works have been studied and their comparison on
various performance parameters is shown. This paper starts with the introduction of OTA, followed by the discussion on various OTA design
techniques along with their block diagram in addition to advantages and disadvantages of these techniques. Two comparative tables are shown
at the end.
KeywordsOTA, Bulk-driven MOST, Floating gate MOST, Quasi FG-MOST, LP, LV, Gain and Transconductance.

potential difference between the drain and source, this
inversion layer will act very much like a conduction channel
of JFET (see Fig. 2). Since the bulk voltage affects the
thickness of the depletion region associated with the inversion
layer (conduction channel), the drain current can be modulated
by varying the bulk voltage through the body effect of the
MOST.
