Abstract
A number of field effect transistor circuits include voltage controlled attenuators or voltage controlled processing circuits. Example circuits include modulators, lower distortion variable voltage controlled resistors, sine wave to triangle wave converters, and or servo controlled biasing circuits.
Claims7
A sine wave to triangle wave converter circuit including a first field effect transistor, a second field effect transistor, a third field effect transistor and fourth field effect transistor wherein each of the first, second, third, and fourth field effect transistors include a drain terminal, a gate terminal, and source terminal comprising:
- a sinusoidal signal source coupled to the gate terminals of the first and third field effect transistors;
- coupling to a first voltage potential the gate terminals of the second and fourth field transistors;
- coupling the drain terminal of the first field effect transistor to the drain terminal of the second field effect transistor;
- coupling the drain terminal of the third field transistor to the drain terminal of the fourth field effect transistor;
- coupling the source terminal of the first field effect transistor to the source terminal of the fourth field effect transistor;
- coupling the source terminal of the second field transistor to the source terminal of the third field effect transistor;
- coupling a first current source to the source terminals of the first field effect transistor and the fourth field effect transistor;
- coupling a second current source to the source terminals of the second field effect transistor and the third field effect transistor;
- providing a first output current terminal coupled to the drain terminals of the first and second field effect transistors;
- setting the current of the first current source not equal to the current of the second current source;
- providing a triangle waveform current at the first output current terminal with the sinusoidal signal source.
