Abstract :
Log-domain or translinear filters are regarded as being a promising alternative in the area of low-voltage filter design. To date, most publications have reported on synthesis of translinear filters. Although synthesis is more powerful than analysis, it must go together with a generally applicable analysis method in the same domain. In this paper, a general current-mode analysis method is proposed. By using a current-mode approach, we stay close to the existing theory on static translinear circuits, which might be beneficial in developing a general, possibly more powerful synthesis method
