TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure generally relates to transistors. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a circuit and a method for operating quasi-floating bulk direct gate driven MOSFET.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that can be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electrical signals and power. Since transistor acts as a basic building block in the field of modern electronics, it has application in various fields. One such application area is in the biomedical devices and applications. In one approach, the biomedical applications such as Electro-encephalography (EEG), Electrocorticography (ECoG) and in-vivo multi-electrode recordings require high-gain and low-noise CMOS Operational Transconductance Amplifier with low power consumption. However, in such approaches, achieving high-gain and low-noise amplification with low-power consumption at low-voltage and low-current levels is challenging issue in CMOS devices. Also, along with high-gain and low-noise performance of the amplifier, it should show negligible dependency on process voltage and temperature variations.
[0004] In another approach, the system or device may include Bulk Driven, Floating Bulk, Quasi-Floating Gate, Bulk Driven Quasi-Floating Gate for Operational Transconductance Amplifier. In such approach, the said device may show low-power consumption but have low-gain and high-noise. However, as biomedical applications indispensably require low-noise operation for high quality recording of associated biomedical signals these techniques are unsuitable. Due to these limitations, these approaches are less reliable and less efficient.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art to provide an improved circuit and method for operating quasi-floating bulk direct gate driven MOSFET.
