Using SINH-Z building blocks in linear applications [articol]

Abstract

The SINH building block is used in the design of hyperbolic circuits. In this paper, starting from an existing lossy integrator structure with hyperbolic circuits, an alternative connection of the SINH block is proposed. The connection involves the high-impedance output pin of the block. In order to apply easier the proposed connection, two modified blocks are proposed, a noninverting one, called SINHZ and its inverting version, called SINHZ-. Simulations show that the lossy integrator based on the SINHZ- block provides better large signal responses. A lossless integrator is proposed, based onto a pair of SINH and SINHZ- cells.
