A fully integrated SC second-order lowpass filter has been built with
a 0.5dB passband ripple, a programmable cutoff frequency in the range
1-100Hz, and a dynamic range of 88.4dB. A decimation filter (DEF) is u
sed to alleviate the requirements imposed on the continous-time anti-a
liasing filter (AAF). The bandwidth variation is achieved by means of
a configurable combination of capacitors and a suitable control logic
circuit.
