Abstract :
A 3 voltage analog CMOS current-mode continuous-time filter with a negative resistance load (NRL) is proposed. To design a current integrator, a modified basic current mirror with an NRL to increase the output resistance is employed The current integrator is designed to enhance the frequency behavior and operate in low voltage by employing a basic current mirror structure and diode connected input transistor. The third order Butterworth low pass active filter using a current-mode NRL integrator is synthesized and simulated for a 1.5 μm CMOS n-well standard process. Simulation results illustrate the cutoff frequency of 50 MHz and power consumption of 2.4 mW/pole with a 3 V power supply. The chip layout area of the third order low pass active filter only occupies 1 mm2
