ABSTRACT:
Techniques are provided for the implementation of dynamically biased circuits. In these circuits, bias currents are varied according to signal amplitude. Benefits include reduced power dissipation, reduced noise, and increased dynamic range. The techniques can be employed in various types of circuits such as, for example, amplifiers, log-domain circuits, and filters.
