Abstract
Circuits which achieve precise gains without the use of negative feedb ack are of interest because of their simplicity and potential for achi eving large bandwidths. A circuit architecture based upon precision cu rrent mirrors for producing fixed gains without the use of feedback ha s been reported in the literature and implemented on a BiCMOS process [1]. This paper provides further analysis of this approach and applies it to a new bipolar amplifier, intended for such applications as real -time active filter synthesis.
