Abstract
A high-frequency large-signal very low-distortion voltage-to-current transducer is presented. The total harmonic distortion (THD), for supply voltages of only +or-2.5 V, is smaller than 0.1% for fully differential input signals up to 2.4 V peak to peak (V/sub pp/). The dynamic range is on the order of 89 dB with the transconductor noise integrated over a bandwidth of 1 MHz. Moreover, this structure presents low sensitivity to transistor mismatches. An operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), based on this transconductor, has been used in an adjustable quality factor 1.8-MHz biquadratic continuous-time filter. The quality factor Q is controlled, from 2 to 50, with a novel current-source configuration. Both the OTA and the filter have been fabricated in a CMOS 3- mu m n-well process. >
