Abstract

A circuit is disclosed that compensates for the non-linearity of a current mode real pole producing circuit used to generate poles and zeros in complex filter circuits. The non-linearity of the prior art is compensated by driving one end of the primary pole producing capacitor with a signal derived from the drain current and fed back so as to counteract the non-linearity factors.
