Abstract :
A signal-flow-graph method for designing arbitrary transconductance-grounded-capacitor filters is described. The procedure is shown to result in a very methodical design and layout suitable for MOS VLSI technology. For LC ladder simulations, the method requires only capacitor arrays and all identical transconductances
