Abstract
A new family of linear differential transconductors based on the current ta il differential pair is presented. The proposed transconductor employs MOS transistors operating in the saturation region. It is shown that the propos ed transconductors offer superior linearity and wider range in addition to the simplicity and high frequency response, which characterizes the current tail differential pair transconductor. PSpice simulation results are given . (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
