difference at its differential input terminals. depending on the polarity of the input signal. the conventional operational amplifier. A simplified block diagram of the OTA is shown in Figure 2. whose value is essentially equal to that of I’. mirrors. Appendix 1 describes current-mirrors in more detail. FIGURE 1.
