A 2.6nW, 0.5V, 52dB-DR, 4th-order Gm-C BPF: Moving closer to the FoM's fundamental limit

چکیده
A nano-power 4-order band-pass filter operating from a 0.5 V supply voltage with an adjustable center frequency, ranging from 250 Hz to 4 kHz (4 octaves), is presented. The filter is constituted from cascadable 2-order circuit cells that are realized by a network of three transistors and two capacitors comprising only one branch of bias current. As a result of the compact low voltage circuit architecture, a dynamic range of 52 dB is obtained, which leads to best figure of merit achieved among other existing designs.

Radio receivers should be robust to large out-of-band blockers with small degradation in their sensitivity. N-path mixers can be used as mixer-first-receivers [1] with good linearity and RF filtering [2]. However, 1/f noise calls for large active device sizes for IF circuits and high power consumption. The 1/f noise issue can be relaxed by having RF gain. However, to avoid desensitization by la...
متن کاملA 0.5V 3-order Tunable gm-C Filter
This paper proposes a 3-order gm-C filter that operates with the extremely low voltage supply of 0.5 V. The employed transconductor is capable for operating in an extremely low voltage power supply environment. A benefit offered by the employed transconductor is that the filter’s cut-off frequency can be tuned, through a dc control current, for relatively large ranges. The filter structure was ...
متن کاملA 0.45nW, 0.5V, 59-dB DR, Gm-C Low-pass Filter for Portable ECG Recording
This paper presents the design of a sub-threshold CMOS G,„-C low-pass filter in a portable ECG detection system. The proposed filter is formed by cascading 6 stages of identical l^'-order low-pass sections. With a minimum number of active components in the l^'-order section, the noise contribution of the circuit can be kept low while minimizing the size of transistors and capacitors. The filter...
متن کاملA Reconfigurable 10MS/s to 100MS/s, 0.5V to 1.2V, 0.98mm, 10b Low-Power 0.13um CMOS Pipeline ADC
This work describes a reconfigurable 10MS/s to 100MS/s, 0.5V to 1.2V, 0.98mm, 10b low-power 0.13um CMOS two-step pipeline ADC. The SHA employs gate-bootstrapped sampling switches and a two-stage amplifier based on a low-threshold NMOS differential input stage to obtain 10b accuracy even at a 0.5V supply. A signal-isolated all directionally symmetric layout reduces the MDAC capacitor mismatch wh...
متن کاملWidely Tunable 4th Order Switched Gm-C Band-Pass Filter Based on N-Path Filters
A widely tunable 4th order BPF based on the subtraction of two 2nd order 4-path passive-mixer filters with slightly different center frequencies is proposed. The center frequency of each 4-path filter is slightly shifted relative to its clock frequency (one upward and the other one downward) by a gm-C technique. Capacitive splitting of the input signal is used to reduce the mutual loading of th...
