A Modified CMOS Balanced Output Transconductor with Extended Linearity
Pages 239 - 244
Abstract
A new CMOS balanced output transconductor is presented. The circuit is based on applying the dynamic biasing technique on the floating current source to extend its linearity range. The difference in the biasing currents is compensated to maintain the two output currents balanced by subtracting it at the output nodes. The proposed transconductor is suitable for high frequency applications requiring a wide dynamic range. Rail-to-rail operation is achieved with THD of −33.64 dB. The bandwidth achieved by the transconductor is 240 MHz, and the supply voltage used is ±1.5 V.
