  • Patent number: 9129140
    Abstract: A squaring circuit has current mode triplet metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices, including a first MOS device, a second MOS device and a third MOS device each having a source operably coupled to a first current source; and a fourth MOS device, a fifth MOS device and a sixth MOS device each having a source operably coupled to a second current source. The drain of first and fourth MOS device is operably coupled to a first supply, the drain of second and fifth MOS device is operably coupled to a first differential output port and the drain of third and sixth MOS device is operably coupled to a second differential output port. The gate of first, second and sixth MOS device is connected to a first differential input port, and the gate of third, fourth and fifth MOS device is connected to a second differential input port.

  • Publication number: 20130265104
    Abstract: A circuit includes an output node; a first current source coupled via at least one first switch to at least the output node and a calibration node, wherein the first switch alternately operably couples the first current source to the output node or the calibration node; a second current source of opposing polarity to the first current source and operably coupled via at least one second switch to at least the output node and the calibration node, wherein the second switch alternately operably couples the second current source to the output node or the calibration node; and a current control circuit having an adjustment circuit operably coupled to the calibration node, wherein the current control circuit couples both the first and second current sources to the calibration node when a current from the first/second current source is not to be used as an output from the output node.
