Abstract :
This paper discusses uses of the MOSFET other than as a transconductor or switch. Several possibilities are reviewed, and new ones are described. The techniques discussed include the use of the MOSFET as a capacitor, as a linearized resistor, as a tunable distributed RC filter element, as a passive voltage amplifier, and as a discrete-time parametric amplifier; also described are resistive-gate MOSFETs and resistive gate/resistive body MOSFETs
