Abstract

This paper proposes design of new linear bipolar OTAs composed of an hyperbolic function circuit and a triple-tail cell. Two types of the OTAs are presented; one employs a hyperbolic sine circuit and the other contains a hyperbolic cosine circuit. The linear input voltage ranges of the proposed OTAs are wider than that of the conventional triple-tail cell, though the power dissipation is smaller. The results of SPICE simulation show that satisfactory characteristics are obtained.
