In this paper, we proposed a nano-power tunable bump circuit. It incorporates a novel
source-degenerated transconductor using pseudo-resistor as source resistor to control the
width of the bump. The presented circuit is simulated in Cadence using 180nm CMOS
process under 1.8 V power supply. The results show that the transconductance is tuned with
pseudo-resistor and the bump circuit can operate with wide voltage range from 0.3 V to 1.8
V. Also, this circuit is compact and only dissipates 16.7 nW power which makes it perfect for …
