Abstract :
A modified Gilbert current gain cell works with a single supply voltage as low as 1.5 V (2VBE) and reduced power consumption. The circuit inherits most features of the original cell, including the ability to be cascaded without increasing the supply voltage. No special technological features are required to implement the circuit. The design has been verified experimentally using CA 3046 and CA 3096 transistor arrays
