ABSTRACT:
A differential transconductance amplifier includes two first NPN transistors, whose bases receive a differential input voltage, and whose collectors are coupled to a first supply voltage through two respective first current sources; two second NPN transistors respectively coupling the emitters of the first transistors to a second supply voltage, and whose bases are coupled to the collectors of the respective first transistors through level shifters; and a resistive means coupled between the emitters of the first transistors. Each level shifter includes a third PNP transistor coupled between the collector of the respective first transistor and the base of the respective second transistor, and whose control terminal receives a constant bias voltage independent of the differential input voltage.
