Abstract
The motivation to this work relies on nowadays trend to incorporate complete systems in portable and highly autonomous electronic equipment, i.e., longer-lasting battery-powered circuitry, to assist the everyday life of populations. Indeed, the need for low-power circuits is directly related with the energy efficiency of the amplifiers, used in the different building blocks employed in an analog processing chain of a given circuit or electronic system. In fact, amplifiers are fundamental components, not only in analog but also in digital and mixed-signal processing.
