Abstract :
It is shown that a generalized interpretation of the translinear (TL) principle leads quite naturally to an extension to MOS circuits. It is shown that two distinct classes of TL circuits exist, one suitable for bipolar and the other for MOS implementation. The MOS-translinear (MTL) circuit principle is derived and an initial classification of simple MTL circuits is proposed. Some examples are given of MTL circuits synthesizing nonlinear functions
