Abstract

This paper presents analog building blocks that find potential applications in display panels. A buffer (sourcefollower), subtractor, adder and a high-gain amplifier, employing only n-type enhancement amorphous Gallium-Indium- Zinc-Oxide thin-film transistors (a-GIZO TFTs), were designed, simulated, fabricated and characterized. Circuit simulations were carried out using a neural model developed in-house from the measured characteristics of the transistors. The adder-subtractor circuit presents a power consumption of 0.26mW, and the amplifier presents a gain of 34 dB and a power consumption of 0.576mW, with a load of 10M //16 pF. To the authors knowledge, this is the highest gain amplifier with a-GIZO TFT technology till date. Simulation results are in agreement with the measured circuit response.
