J. Tingleff et G. Toumazou, A 5TH-ORDER LOWPASS CURRENT-MODE WAVE ACTIVE-FILTER IN CMOS TECHNOLOGY, Analog integrated circuits and signal processing, 7(2), 1995, pp. 131-137
In this paper, we present measured results from the first reported int
egrated current mode wave active filter. The prototype is a fifth orde
r lowpass filter, the cutoff frequency is 3 MHz and the filter is real
ized in 1.21 mu CMOS technology. A brief description of the synthesis
method shows that it is possible to use low gain OTA amplifiers and to
compensate for the phase errors of the active building blocks by tuni
ng transconductance gain; measured results bear out these theoretical
points.
