Translate An opAmp integrator to a OTA-C one

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting an OpAmp-based integrator filter to an OTA-C (Operational Transconductance Amplifier-Capacitor) version while maintaining the same behavior. The user seeks guidance on how to translate the resistor-capacitor (RC) values from the OpAmp design to the OTA-C configuration. Clarification is provided that OTA refers to an operational trans-impedance amplifier. The conversation highlights the need for understanding the differences in circuit behavior between the two types of integrators. Overall, the thread aims to assist in achieving equivalent performance in the transition from OpAmp to OTA-C.

I have a fliter that uses OpAmp based integrator. I want to make the same filter but using OTA-C instead of opamps. But I'm confused on the process of doing that. Anyone can help me on how to get the same behavior from the transition from one to an other?In other words translating the RC values in the omAmp version into the OTA version with the same behaviour

The ota will be a simple differential pair with resistors as loads.

Welcome to the PF!

What's an OTA? What is the context of the question? (School project, personal project, etc.)

OTA: I mean operational trans-impedance amplifier.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
