Rezumat:

This paper presents a new configuration for linear MOS voltage-to-current converters (transconductors). The proposed circuit combines two previously reported linearization methods. The novel topology achieves 60dB linearity for a input dynamic range up to $1V_{pp}$ supply voltage for the balanced inputs with slightly decreasing performance in the unbalanced case. The linearity is preserved during the tuning process for a moderate range of transconductance values. The theoretical results are verified by both computer simulations and experiments.
