Abstract
A simple log-domain integrator that operates nominally with a supply voltage of 1.2 V is proposed. It does not employ p-n-p or positive metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistors in the signal path. This has two advantages: (1) It makes the integrator suitable for high-frequency applications. (2) The circuit can be implemented using low-cost bipolar processes rather than the more expensive bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (BiCMOS) processes or the bipolar processes featuring high-quality p-n-p transistors. A third-order Chebyshev prototype filter, employing the proposed integrator, is realized using a semicustom bipolar array. It consumes 282 /spl mu/A per pole for a cutoff frequency of 1.5 MHz, achieving a 40.5 dB dynamic range. For lower biasing currents, the circuit can operate from a supply voltage as low as 0.9 V. Detailed experimental results are reported and discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
