Patent ID: 7834691

Claim:
A transconductance element having an input and an output, the transconductance element comprising: a first and a second transconductance circuit, each transconductance circuit comprising: an n-type transistor having a shared connection, a load-facing connection and a third connection; a p-type transistor having a shared connection, a load-facing connection and a third connection; the shared connection of the n-type transistor connected to the shared connection of the p-type transistor; one or more loads, each load connected to the load-facing connection of either the n-type transistor or the p-type transistor, each load allowing passage of a current; and a capacitive element having a first connection and a second connection; the first connection of the capacitor connected to the load-facing connection of the n-type transistor and the second connection of the capacitor connected to the load-facing connection of the p-type transistor; and a bridge connecting a third connection in the first transconductance circuit to a third connection in the second transconductance circuit, wherein the input is connected to a shared connection, and the output is connected to the load-facing connection of at least one transistor that is connected to a load.
