ABSTRACT:
Multiplier based transconductance amplifiers utilizing the combination of FET differential input stages and Gilbert multiplier output stages are disclosed. The amplifiers provide a high input resistance, high output resistance, and wide g.sub.m adjustment range without need for output level-shifting stages. Also disclosed are various transconductance control circuits which require only a simple one-transistor voltage buffer in the feedback loop rather than the two more complex voltage amplifiers required by the prior art. Various embodiments are disclosed.
