“…These trade-offs can be improved by more complex schemes, for example, by including an active, non-linear source degeneration impedance in addition to the linear source resistance, or using switched arrays of linear source degeneration resistors to tune transconductance [4,16,22,27,28,30]. • Triode region operation-A MOSFET operated in the triode region (i.e., with V ds < V gs −V th ) has a nearly linear relationship between I d and V gs , and transconductance proportional to V ds , providing a method for transconductance tuning [5,6,23]. The maximum limit on transconductance tuning range is limited by the highest value of V ds under which triode region operation is maintained, while a lower limit is set by the minimum value of V ds which can be accurately maintained in the presence of DC offsets in the circuit.…”
