A unipolar thin‐film transistor‐based amplifier with enhanced DC offset suppression

Abstract This letter proposes a unipolar thin‐film transistor (TFT)‐based amplifier design that can provide enhanced DC offset suppression. The amplifier consists of an input AC coupling network and a capacitor bootstrap amplifier. By making the first pole of the input AC‐coupling network coincide w...
