Abstract

A transconductor tuning circuit for controlling transconductance of a transconductor. The tuning circuit includes a first MOS (Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) transistor. A source terminal of the first MOS transistor is connected to a power source. A gate terminal and a drain terminal of the first MOS transistor being connected to each other. A gate terminal and a drain terminal of a second MOS transistor being connected. A first input terminal of a first error amplifier is connected to the gate terminal of the first MOS transistor. A second input terminal of the first error amplifier is connected to the gate terminal of the second MOS transistor. The first error amplifier outputs an output signal in form of a bias signal for controlling tuning of the transconductor.
