ABSTRACT:
A circuit device for neutralizing thermal drift in a transconductor differential stage using a first circuit portion which corresponds structurally to the transconductor differential stage and has a pair of MOS input transistors defining a transconductance value which is substantially proportional to that of the transconductor differential stage, a pair of bipolar output transistors coupled to the MOS input transistors in a cascode configuration, and a second circuit portion being supplied a current from an output of the first differential portion to thereby output a current to be passed to the transconductor differential stage. The value of the output current is inversely proportional to temperature-dependent parameters of the transconductance.
