BACKGROUND

These circuits suffer from high values of input referred noise power spectral density which contaminates the important information residing inside the signal of interest for these applications. The reason for high value of noise is attributed to the tradeoff between noise and stability in these circuits. The input referred noise power spectral density cannot be reduced beyond a certain extend owing to the necessary stability condition of the circuit to be fulfilled.
[0004] Existing solutions include use of single metal oxide silicon field effect transistor (MOSFET) or MOS transistor in partial positive feedback circuit. They only used partial positive feedback circuit but no composite MOS transistor in the feedback circuit.

[0005] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems of prior art by bringing a solution that uses composite MOS transistor and partial positive feedback collectively for optimizing noise-stability tradeoff and enhancing impedance for better DC offset and common mode rejection. Also, the solution provides better bio medical applications by using composite MOS transistor. The solution provides has a better optimization for tradeoff between noise and stability and facilitates achieving low values of input referred noise power spectral density.
