Abstract
A CMOS-implemented transconductance amplifier has an input gain stage coupled to a CMOS output stage. The inverting input of the input gain stage is coupled to an input/output port to which an input voltage is coupled. The CMOS output stage has a first, transconductance CMOS transistor pair, whose source-drain paths are series-coupled between first and second outputs of the input stage. A second, transimpedance CMOS transistor pair have their source-drain paths series-coupled between first and second power supply terminals, and gate inputs coupled to outputs of the input stage. A third CMOS transistor pair is coupled in parallel with the second CMOS transistor pair to form a pair of current mirror stages. The current output is coupled to a common connection of the third CMOS pair.
