FULLY INTEGRATED MULTIFUNCTION TRANS-IMPEDANCE MODE BIQUAD FILTER

Abstract

This paper presents a new trans-impedance-mode biquad filter which simultaneously, realizes the multifunction filtering outputs such as low pass (LP), band pass (BP), high pass (HP) and band reject (BR). The presented filter topology consists of only single active element as voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA) along with two grounded capacitors and two MOS implemented grounded resistors. So, the proposed TIM filter structure is fully integrable and canonical in nature. Apart from these, the proposed filter also enjoys the desirable features such as low active and passive sensitivities, low power consumption and orthogonal tunability of pole frequency and quality factor by electronic means. The presented filter is simulated using PSPICE in 0.18 µm CMOS process
