A five transistor nonlinear load line is presented for use in analog CMOS circuit design. The load line can be adjusted, possibly dynamically, by an external voltage to fit the situation. In this paper the load-line circuit is presented along with design equations and an example of its use in the realization of a neural type cell. Other uses are in relaxation oscillator and chaos generator design.
