TLDR
In this paper, the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) is used in voltage-controlled amplifiers, filters, and impedances for continuous-time monolithic filters, where the total number of components used in these circuits is small, and the design equations and voltage-control characteristics are attractive.
Abstract
Basic properties of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) are discussed. Applications of the OTA in voltage-controlled amplifiers, filters, and impedances are presented. A versatile family of voltage-controlled filter sections suitable for systematic design requirements is described. The total number of components used in these circuits is small, and the design equations and voltage-control characteristics are attractive. Limitations as well as practical considerations of OTA-based filters using commercially available bipolar OTAs are discussed. Applications of OTAs in continuous-time monolithic filters are considered.
