11, ABSTRACT:, A transconductance amplifier includes a differential transconductance amplifier stage and a differential correction amplifier stage. In order to achieve substantially linear operation over a wide dynamic range, the effects of nonlinearities in the transconductance amplifier stage are substantially cancelled by the effects of nonlinearities in the correction amplifier stage. This is accomplished by cross-coupling the two stages and establishing the relative gain of the correction amplifier stage with respect to the transconductance amplifier stage such that the desired cancellation occurs. In a preferred embodiment, optimum cancellation occurs when the gain of the correction …
