Abstract

Two different design techniques are presented for obtaining current-mode filters suitable for operation at high frequencies. For this purpose CMOS and/or bipolar current amplifiers are used as active building blocks. The derived circuits simulate LC passive prototype filters and they are modular in structure. Consequently, their electronic and layout design is very easy. Low-voltage, low-power design is also feasible. Simulation examples are given.
