  • Abstract
    A technique based on the use of Floating Gate MOS (FGMOS) transistors is proposed to improve the continuous tuning of CMOS transconductors. It can be applied to tuning circuits based on resistive current division, and allows significantly improving the linearity and input and output range the transconductor. Measurement results of a test chip prototype show an increase in IM3 of 13 dB for two input tones of 1Vpp, 950 kHz and 1050 kHz.
