Abstract
The current passing in a main trans-conductor circuit is compared in analog domain with a reference current. If the passing current exceeds the reference current, another trans-conductor circuit may be switched on to cause the effective area of trans-conductor circuits to be increased. Using such a feature, the trans-conductance value may be maintained substantially constant without substantially increasing power.
