Low-voltage low-power high dB-linear CMOS exponential function generator using highly-linear V-I converter

Abstract: A CMOS voltage-to-current converter with exponential characteristic is presented in this paper. The concept of Taylor series expansion is used for realizing the exponential characteristic. The proposed exponential V-I converter is composed of a current-to-current squarer and a linear V-I converter with the use of linearization technique. Based on a 0.25 µm CMOS process, simulations show a 23 dB of linear-output current range and the linearity within 20 dB with error less than ± 0.5dB is achieved. The total pow… Show more

“…(6), the exponential characteristic is easily achieved by setting the multiplying factors K 1 and K 2 . Also, Typically, the output parameter of the dB-linear V-I and I-V converters is a direct function of the input parameter [4,6,7]. Differently, this paper considers the output current of the EVIC is an indirect function of input voltage, and a direct function of input current such that the exp 2 (ax) can be done in the current domain easily to get rather higher dB-linear range as depicted in Fig.…”
