Abstract :
This paper presents a transconductor designed using a physical model of double-gate p-type organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). A control voltage can be used to vary the output resistance and the transconductance over one order of magnitude. The voltage gain does not depend on process parameters and therefore is insensitive to shelf and operational degradation. This circuit can be used as a tunable resistor, in voltage amplifiers or in GmC filters.
