Abstract
A linear self-biasing MOS transconductance amplifier is presented. A l inear V-I transfer characteristic is obtained by square-rooting the dr ain current of a MOS transistor in the saturation region. The main adv antage of the circuit is that its transconductance gain and input line ar range can be adjusted independently. Simulation results are include d to confirm the feasibility of the technique.
