Abstract

A transconductance amplifier having an input terminal for receiving an input signal and an output terminal for communicating an output signal based on the input signal, the transconductance amplifier may include a gain transistor and a variable capacitance. The gain transistor may have a gate terminal, a first non-gate terminal, and a second non-gate terminal, the first non-gate terminal coupled to the output terminal of the transconductance amplifier. The variable capacitance may be coupled between the gate terminal of the gain transistor and the second non-gate terminal of the gain transistor.
