An Electronic Gyrator

INTRODUCTION
A.NY attempts have been made to replace LC
filters by filters which, while maintaining their
M
excellent properties [1], do not require big and
costly inductors. A possible method is to replace each
coil by a gyrator terminated in a capacitor.
To replace a coil we need at least another energy
reservoir, e.g., a capacitor. If we compare the equations
for an inductor and a capacitor we see that the role
played by voltage and current is reversed (Fig. 1). To
simulate an inductance with a capacitor we must transform the current ic to a voltage v~ and the voltage VC
to a current i~:
v~ = Rlic
i~ = (1/RJvc,
(1)
where RI and Rz are resistances. We thus get an inductance L = RIR,C. In this way all normal values of
inductances up to very high values can be simulated
(e.g., R, = R, = 1 Mfl, C = 1 pF gives L = 1 MH).

AbstractThe
design of a new general-purpose
monolithic
power amplifier functional block is described and the flexibility
of the block in various applications is discussed. The effects of
thermal coupling on the die between components in high-gain
dc power amplifiers are examined and a technique is presented
for the analytical evaluation of dc circuit performance in the presence
of these thermal interactions. Experimental results from the 15-W
amplifierare presented.A new integratedpower transistorstructure
is described that includes emitter degeneration resistorsas part
of the emitter structure.Circuitperformance is summarized.
