摘要
This paper presents a new low-voltage pseudodifferential continuous-time CMOS transconductor for wide-band applications. The proposed cell is based on a feedforward cancellation of the input common-mode signal and keeps the input common mode voltage constant, while the transconductance is easily tunable through a continuous bias voltage. Linearity is preserved during the tuning process for a moderate range of transconductance values. Measurements results for a 0.35-mu m CMOS design show a 1:2 G, tuning range with total harmonic distortion figures at 10 MHz below -58 dB over the whole range up to a 200-mu A(p-p) differential output current. The proposed cell consumes less than 1.1 mW from a single 1.8-V supply.
