ABSTRACT:
A method for tuning a transconductor includes receiving a digital value. The method also includes determining a bit value for a selected bit of the digital value, and selecting a tuning range for a transconductor based on the bit value. The method further includes tuning the transconductor within the selected range based on any remaining bits in the digital value.
