Abstract

A complementary transconductance amplifier having a common mode feedback circuit includes a first-type transconductor, a second-type transconductor and a common mode feedback circuit. The first-type transconductor generates a first differential output signal pair in response to a differential input signal pair under the control of a first control signal. The second-type transconductor generates a second differential output signal pair in response to the differential input signal pair under the control of a second control signal. The common mode feedback circuit generates the second control signal in response to the first and second differential output signal pairs under the control of a common mode control signal.
