Abstract :
The design techniques of low-voltage V-I converters are discussed. It is shown that the input operating range of two conventional linear V-I converters is able to extend to rail-to-rail with the use of extra complementary stages similar to those employed in the inputs of low-voltage opamps. The THD (total harmonic distortion), simulated with 0.8 μm HSPICE level 6 models, shows less than 1% throughout the entire operating range (±1.5 V)
