An '''operational transconductance amplifier''' (OTA) is an [[amplifier]] whose differential input voltage produces an output current.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Operational transconductance amplifier]]</ref>
 
== OTAs used in synths ==
* [[CA3080]]
* [[CEM3320]]
* [[CEM3328]]
* [[CEM3389]]
* [[CEM3379]]
* [[IR3109]]
* [[LM13700]] and LM13600
* [[SSM2040]]
* [[SSM2044]]
 
== DIY OTA ==
OTA can be made from [[Transistor matching|matched-pair BJT]]s.<ref>[http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~lanterma/studentprojects/TeamOTAComparison.pdf Comparison of Operational Transconductance Amplifiers] by Paul Brown and Wallace Tennille, p. 4</ref>
 
== See also ==
* Intersil [[CA3080]], the classic single OTA and CA3280 a dual OTA with better specs than the CA3080 and LM13x00
*[[CA3080]]
* National Semiconductor LM13600 and [[LM13700]], both dual OTAs
* Philips [[NE5517]], similar to the LM13600
* Maxim [[MAX435]] and MAX436<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20080418141642/http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~lanterma/sdiy/datasheets/ Aaron's Synth DIY Datasheet and Ap Note Collection], (Archive.org)</ref><ref>''[http://synth.stromeko.net/diy/OTA.pdf Operational Transconductance Amplifiers]'' by Achim Gratz</ref>
