Nonlinear Applications Of An Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA)
Abstract
The inherent properties of the Operatonal Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) are used to design circuits for fundamental nonlinear applications. The OTA is a voltage controlled current source(VCCS) device in contrast to the Op Amp, which is a voltage controlld voltage source device(VCVS). It is shown that in several applications, circuits using OTA's are more flexible, simpler, and easier to design than the conventional Op Amp circuits. In particular, description of simple circuits forming basic building blocks and their use in more complex circuits are presented.
