Abstract :
A new fully differential MOS transconductor for integrated continuous-time filters is proposed. The transconductor consists of four MOS transistors biased in their linear operating region. Advantages of the transconductor include low distortion, large signal handling capability, a wide tuning range and simplicity of design.
