Abstract :
A simple transresistance amplifier is introduced that is both linear and compact. It consists of only two transistors and a current source. Despite its simplicity, its linearity properties are attractive when compared to existing transresistance structures. Simulation results comparing the performance of the new structure with several other single-ended and balanced structures are presented along with experimental results
