ABSTRACT:
A controllable magnetic field generator applies a magnetic field to a transistor device at a particular orientation for producing a corresponding Lorentz force on the flow of carriers in the device to advantageously deflect the carriers to facilitate performance of a corresponding desired circuit function. Such a component arrangement is useable in a variety of circuit configurations for performing different circuit functions with a reduced number of devices and complexity relative to conventional circuit configurations. Exemplary circuit configurations for signal mixers, differential amplifiers, switches, and multiplexers and demultiplexers are possible using as little as one or two devices. According to another aspect of the invention, an inductor coil is used for the magnetic field generator and is formed on a substrate containing the transistor device to provide a component arrangement having relatively compact dimensions.
