Abstract :
Two novel linear transconductors are described, where the linear voltage-to-current conversion is achieved by properly combining a pair of MOS transistors operating in the ohmic region, so that their nonlinearities cancel out. Experimental results for a transconductor implemented in a 2 μ CMOS technology are provided
