  • Abstract
    A 4th order Butterworth Gm-C filter based on a low-power design technique employing Floating-Gate MOS (FGMOS) transistors is presented. It consists in a topological rearrangement of conventional fully-differential Gm-C structures decreasing the number of active blocks of the filter and relaxing the transconductor requirements at transistor level. Moreover, high linearity is obtained at low and medium frequencies of the pass band. Measurement results from a test chip prototype in a 0.5 μm standard CMOS n-well process are provided and compared with other published circuits, corroborating the advantages of the proposed topology. A static power consumption of 0.76 mW for a 3.3 V supply voltage has been obtained, with a BW tunable from 300 kHz to 850 kHz.
