Linear Bipolar OTAs Employing Multi-tanh Doublet and Exponential-law Circuits

  • Published : 2000.07.01

Abstract

In this paper, new linearization technique for bipolar OTAs using exponential-law circuits is described. The core circuit of the proposed OTAs is the multi-TANH doublet. The OTAs have adaptively biasing current sources, which consists of the exponential-law circuits. Three types of the OTAs are presented. The linear input voltage ranges of the OTAs are almost the same as the multi-TANH triplet. Further, the OTAs have lower power dissipation than the multi-TANH triplet.
