Abstract

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit includes an operational amplifier coupled in a circuit configuration. The circuit configuration includes two transistors coupled to the operational amplifier so that the corresponding voltages at the terminals or ports of the transistors are substantially identical. Briefly, in accordance with one more embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit includes an operational amplifier coupled in a circuit configuration. The circuit configuration includes two circuit components coupled to the operational amplifier so that the corresponding voltages at the terminals or ports of the circuit components are substantially identical. The circuit components include any circuit components capable of implementing a transconductance.
