A Graduate Course on Active, Digital, and Switched Capacitor Filters

This paper presents a solution to the problem of accommodating the important new subject of switched capacitor networks in already crowded electrical engineering curricula. This is achieved by combining in a one-semester course three different, but related, subjects. This is made possible 1) by placing a strong emphasis on the underlying principles that are common to active, digital, and switched capacitor filters, and 2) by concentrating on the realization of these three types of filters by simulation of passive ladder networks.
