Generalized admittance matrix models of OTRAs and COAs

This paper proposes new admittance matrix models to approach the behavior of fully-differential Operational Transresistance Amplifiers (OTRAs) and Current Operational Amplifiers (COAs). The infinity-variables method is used in order to derive the new generalized models. As a consequence, standard nodal analysis being improved to compute fully-symbolic small-signal characteristics of fully-differential analog circuits.
