Abstract

Amplifier circuits having at least one neuron MOS transistor in which a coupling gate is connected to an amplifier output and at least one further coupling gate is connected with a respective amplifier input are provided. The amplifier circuit exhibits a linear transmission behavior even in large-signal operation and can be constructed using relatively few components. Furthermore, the gain is easy to set.
