Abstract

This work deals with FIESTA II, the second version of the continuous-time filter design program FIESTA, and its use as a teaching tool. The user friendly features of the program (highly interactive and graphics capabilities that allow student insight into the approximation and synthesis of active filters) have been extended to include the synthesis of new transconductance-capacitance filter structures, automatic scaling for optimum dynamic range of cascade filter structures, and tolerance analysis, etc. Examples are presented
