Abstract
Exploiting the high input impedance, the reasonable resistance to radiation and the consistant nonlinearity of metal-oxide -semiconductor transistorsfive operational circuits, suitable for space applications, have been designed. These circuits are: a low-level D C current amplifier, a low-level D C voltage amplifier, a wide-band squaring circuit, a power source regulating circuit and a low-level analog to digital converter.
