Abstract :
A low-level large-signal continuous-time operator, governed by the Bernoulli nonlinear differential equation is proposed. This cell consists of a suitably biased bipolar junction transistor and an emitter-connected grounded capacitor, and is shown to formalise in a convenient manner, with signal-processing in the log-domain
