Abstract :
A `triode transconductor¿ fully differential transconductance element for use in continuous-time CMOS integrated filters is proposed. It is based on a common-source pair of triodemode MOS transistors. Preliminary experimental results from breadboarded transconductors and complete filters show good distortion performance. Several practical advantages are claimed over previous approaches.
