Abstract:Abstract-An inherent characteristic of most translinear (TL) filters is instantaneous companding. This brief describes a distortionless syllabic companding TL filter based on the "analog floating-point technique" [1]. Through the addition of a compensation current to each of the capacitances in the filter, distortion is eliminated. By applying syllabic companding to a TL filter, the input current can be much larger than the quiescent current, thus increasing the dynamic range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
