Generalization of MRC circuits and its application

This paper proposes a generalization of MOS resistive circuits (MRCs). The proposed circuit has m inputs and n outputs while the conventional one has two inputs and two outputs. Applications of this generalized-version MRC to variable-gain amplifiers, integrators, and filters are presented to demonstrate its versatility as well as flexibility, HSPICE simulations using 2 /spl mu/m process parameters also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed circuit.
