These transistors are kept in the triode region by a novel negative feedback loop which features simplicity, low voltage requirements, and high output resistance. A linearity analysis is carried out which demonstrates how the proposed transconductance tuning scheme leads to high linearity in a wide transconductance range. Measurement results for a 0.5 μm CMOS implementation of the transconductor show a transconductance tuning range of more than a decade (15 μA/V to 165 μA/V) and a total harmonic distortion of −67 dB at 1 MHz for an input of 1 Vpp and a supply voltage of 1.8 V. |
