Abstract:

A low-distortion tunable transistor-only integrator suitable for applications in the frequency range approaching the f_{T} of transistors is presented. The circuit is a modified version of the recently introduced companding current-mode integrator utilizing the non-linear base-emitter diffusion capacitance of the BJT. A first-order approximation of the circuit characteristics is explained, followed by a brief discussion on the departure from ideal characteristics due to transistor nonidealities. Experimental and simulated results of practical integrators are given to verify the feasibility of the proposed modified circuit.
