ABSTRACT:
A resistor-input transconductor includes a circuit configured to generate a common-mode compensation current. The common-mode compensation current is used to compensate for the common-mode voltage of the inputs. A current output of the resistor-input transconductor is proportional to a voltage difference between the two inputs and essentially independent of a common-mode voltage of the two inputs. The resistor input transconductor may be applied in a variety of applications including, for example, communications.
