Abstract

Voltage-to-current converters (VICs) are starting to be extensively used in video speed current-mode analog circuits, especially in A/D converters, as internal building blocks or external interfaces with voltage-mode signals. Despite the important role played by VIC´s in video signal processing systems, until now no design examples nor experimental results on video rate VIC´s have been reported. The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a newly developed VI converter, suitable for interfacing 8-b current-mode circuits operating at video frequencies with voltage signals. A test circuit has been fabricated in 0.7-μm, 5-V single-supply CMOS digital process
