Abstract

A low power, area efficient, single bit finite-impulse response (FIR) reconstruction filter for delta-sigma applications based on a current steering approach is presented. The FIR filter coefficients are programmable with discrete values from -8 to +8, thus allowing for various filter responses including lowpass and bandpass transfer functions on the same chip. The filter is implemented in a 0.25 μm standard CMOS process and incorporates 2.09 mm² of active area and a 2.5 V supply. Three different filter functions are implemented: a voice band lowpass filter, an audio band lowpass filter and a bandpass filter. The audio band example achieves a dynamic range of 78 dB for a signal bandwidth of 20 kHz and 65 dB over a 100 kHz bandwidth
