Abstract

A gyrator includes a gyrator core and at least one common mode feedback circuit. The gyrator core includes four inverters mutually connected in a loop configuration between a pair of input ends and a pair of output ends. The common mode feedback circuit is provided between the pair of input ends and/or the pair of output ends and includes a forward-reverse connection inverter set and a backward-reverse connection inverter set. The forward-reverse connection inverter set has a first inverter, a second inverter connected in reverse series with the first inverter, and a first feedback resistor connected in parallel with the second inverter. The backward-reverse connection inverter set has a third inverter, a fourth inverter connected in reverse series with the third inverter, and a second feedback resistor connected in parallel with the fourth inverter.

Claims (42)

1. A gyrator with feedback resistors, the gyrator comprising:

a gyrator core comprising four inverters mutually connected in a loop configuration between a pair of input ends and a pair of output ends; and

at least a common mode feedback section electrically connected between the pair of the input ends or the pair of the output ends, the common mode feedback section comprising:

a forward-reverse series connection inverter set comprising:

a first inverter;

a second inverter electrically connected in reverse series with the first inverter; and

a first feedback resistor electrically connected in parallel with the second inverter; and

a backward-reverse series connection inverter set electrically connected in anti-parallel with the forward-reverse series connection inverter set, the backward-reverse series connection inverter set comprising:

a third inverter;

a fourth inverter electrically connected in reverse series with the third inverter; and
