Abstract :
This paper presents a topological method for identifying multiple static translinear loops using a graphical representation. It is found that the translinear principle has a new formulation based on graph theory concepts and it is applied to circuits containing BJTs and MOS transistors. In addition, it introduces the concept of translinear circuit for representing a translinear loop. The types of interaction between translinear loops are studied and its properties are established. The method is illustrated with a generic example
