Analysis of Hybrid Translinear Circuit and Its Application.

A hybrid translinear (TL) circuit constituted by two kinds of transistors, bipolar and CMOS transistors, was proposed to control its quiescent current. And a new method was introduced to analyze the hybrid TL circuit, which converted it into an uniform equivalent bipolar TL circuit. It simplified its analysis and design. This hybrid TL circuit is applied to the output stage of a class AB amplifier. The simulation results in 1.5µm BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) technology were consistent with expectations well.
