摘要
A current-mode analogue circuit that implements a pseudo-exponential function is proposed. The design of the circuit is based on Taylor's series approximation, using MOS transistors in the saturation region. The advantages of this circuit is that the output current presents a very low temperature coefficient (TC) and is also immune to the body-effect. Simulation and experimental results show that the circuit offers a maximum output range of similar to 30dB, with an error of less than 1dB and TC = -233ppm/degreesC.
