Abstract :
An important and expanding branch of analogue circuits is the `translinear¿ group. Their primary function arises from the exploitation of the precise proportionality of transconductance to collector current in bipolar transistors so as to result in fundamentally exact, temperature-insensitive behaviour. The basic translinear principle is derived and several examples given.
