A transconductance stage converts a voltage input into a linear current output. This is distinct from a transimpedance stage, which transforms a current input into a voltage output. The discussion confirms the terminology used for these electronic stages. The clarification emphasizes the linear transformation aspect of both stages. Understanding these definitions is crucial for electronic circuit design.

Name of the function stage.

I know a stage that convert a current input and linearly transform into a voltage output is called "Transimpedance" stage.

How about input is a voltage and output is the linear transform of the input into a current output. Is this called a transconductance stage?

Thanks

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
