Opis

This book discusses the design of switched-capacitor filters in deep-submicron CMOS technologies. The authors describe several topologies for switched-capacitor filter circuits that do not require high-gain high-bandwidth amplifiers. Readers will also learn two analysis methodologies that can be implemented efficiently in software and integrated into optimization environments for the automation of design for switched-capacitor filters. Although the optimization examples discussed utilize low gain amplifiers, the demonstrated methodologies can also be used for conventional, high-gain high-bandwidth amplifiers.
