This work presents a single-stage, inverter-based, pseudo-differential amplifier that can work with ultra-low supply voltages. A novel common-mode stabilization loop allows proper differential operations, without impacting over the output differential performance. Electrical simulations show the effectiveness of this amplifier for supply voltages in the range of 0.3-0.5 V. In particular, a dc voltage gain of 25.16 dB, a gain-bandwidth product of 131.9 kHz with a capacitive load of 10 pF, and a static current consumption of only 557 nA are estimated at V-DD = 0.5 V. Moreover, the circuit behavior with respect to process and temperature variations was verified. Finally, the proposed amplifier is employed in a switched-capacitor integrator and in a sample-and-hold circuit to prove its functionality in case-study applications.
