Abstract :
A new sampled-current signal processing cell is presented. When operated with its memory transistor in saturation it can be designed with high signal swing and low supply voltage. Alternatively, with the addition of a simple clock circuit to produce nearly constant switch charge injection, the memory transistor may be operated in nonsaturation to improve accuracy.
