Abstract
In this paper, we describe a novel low-voltage class-AB operational amplifier (opamp) based on dynamic threshold voltage MOS transistors (DTMOS). A DTMOS transistor is a device whose gate is tied to its bulk. DTMOS transistor pseudo-pMOS differential input pairs are used for input common-mode range enhancement, followed by a single ended class-AB output. Two versions of the proposed opamp (opamp-A and opamp-B) were fabricated in a standard 0.18-mum CMOS process technology. Measurements under 5 pF and 10 kOmega load conditions gave, for opamp-A, a DC open-loop gain of 50.1 dB, and a unity gain bandwidth (GBW) of 26.2 MHz. A common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of 78 dB, and input and output swings of 0.7 V and 0.9 V, respectively, were achieved. Opamp-B has been optimized for biomedical applications, and is implemented to build the analog front-end part of a near-infrared spectroreflectometry (NIRS) receiver of a multi-wavelength wireless brain oxymeter apparatus. A DC open-loop gain of 53 dB, a GBW of 1.3 MHz, and input and output swings of 0.6 V and 0.8 V, respectively, were measured. Opamp-A consumes 550 muW with an input referred noise of 160 nV/radicHz at 1 kHz. Opamp-B consumes only 40 muW and exhibits a lower input referred noise of 107 nV/radicHz at 1 kHz

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
