Compact Sub-Hertz OTA-C Filter Design With Interface-Trap Charge Pump
نویسندگان
چکیده
Single-ended and differential operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) configurations are biased with MOSFET interface-trap charge-pumping (ITCP) current generators to achieve very low transconductances for tunable sub-hertz operational transconductance amplifier-capacitor (OTA-C) filter implementation. This paper reviews the basics of ITCP current generation and presents the transconductors and the OTA-C filter configurations based on these transconductors. One of the filters is a low-pass with an experimentally determined lowest cutoff frequency of 0.18 Hz, and the other is a fully differential bandpass with individually tunable lower and upper cutoff frequencies measured down to 0.3 Hz. The former has one 15-pF filter capacitor, and measures 0.0346 mm, whereas the latter contains four such capacitors and occupies 0.188 mm silicon. Experimental evaluation also includes offset, harmonic distortion, and noise performance.

Abstract: A new circuit realization for OTA-C current-mode comb filter is proposed to remove the undesirable multiple frequency signals. The proposed filter uses only OTAs and capacitors, hence suitable for monolithic integrated circuit implementation. The proposed OTA-C comb filter is simulated in PSPICE using a behavioral macro-model of the OTA as well with a practical CMOS OTA circuit. The w...
