Summary :

A novel circuit design technique for bipolar linear transconductance amplifiers is presented. A triple-tail cell, which consists of three emitter-common transistors biased by a single tail current, is exchangeable with an emitter-coupled pair in the multi-tanh cell, such as a multi-tanh doublet, a multi-tanh triplet or a multi-tanh quad. Therefore, the multi-tanh technique is further theoretically expanded to the super-multi-tanh technique. In this paper, the super-multi-tanh technique is proposed and discussed, and furthermore, a super-multi-tanh doublet is verified with bipolar transistor-arrays and discrete resistors on a breadboard.
