Characterisation of linear MOS active attenuator and amplifier

The experimental performance of a linear monolithic MOS active voltage attenuator and a linear finite gain amplifier employing the attenuator in the feedback loop is discussed. Measured DC transfer characteristics, and the signal to harmonic distortion ratios as functions of signal amplitudes, are presented.
