Abstract
An active inductor circuit includes a field-effect transistor having a first source/drain adapted for connection with a first voltage source, a capacitor coupled between the first voltage source and a gate of the field-effect transistor, a resistor coupled between a second source/drain of the field-effect transistor and the gate of the field-effect transistor, and a current source coupled with the gate of the field-effect transistor. A voltage headroom of the active inductor circuit is controlled as a function of at least one of a magnitude of current generated by the current source and a resistance of the resistor.
