Abstract

A first-order CMOS log-domain filter is presented. The internal voltage swing compression due to its companding nature, together with the use of floating-gate MOS transistors and its class AB differential topology, allows the filter to operate at 1V while maintaining at the same time a large input range. Moreover, operation in weak inversion leads to very low power consumption. Simulation results demonstrate the proposed technique, which can be readily extended to higher-order filters.
