Abstract :
A BiCMOS current buffer with positive and negative rectifying outputs as well as a nonrectified output is presented. The circuit has low voltage supply requirements and good high frequency performance. It can be used as building block of high performance linear and nonlinear current-mode circuits. Experimental results of a BiCMOS test chip that verify the operation of the circuit are presented
