Abstract :
A basis for current-mode class AB operation in CMOS circuits is presented and the linear behavior of class AB current-mode circuits is discussed. A CMOS class AB current-conveyor designed by referring to the presented principle is proposed. This current-conveyor offers a low input resistance for a small bias current which makes it suitable for low-consumption designs
