Complemenary body driving - a low voltage analog circuit technique for SOI

This paper describes several analog circuit primitives that utilize the body terminal as a signal port. A cascode current mirror that can operate with an input and output voltage of 200 mV; and a rail-to-rail, constant transconductance gain block capable of 1 V operation are presented. These circuits have been implemented in a standard 0.35~1 partially-depleted Silicon-on-Insulator (PDSOI) CMOS process and should find wide application in next-generation analog circuit designs.
