Semi-Parallel Cyclic Type Switched-Capacitor Filter Using Unity Gain Buffer

Recently, we developed a low power consumption and small total capacitance switched-capacitor filter using a single operational amplifier. It is called a semi-parallel cyclic type (SPCT) filter, in which each capacitance is in proportion to the square root of a transfer function coefficient value. In this paper, we propose the SPCT filter using a single unity gain buffer (UGB). It will be referred to a UGB-SPCT filter. It is possible to use the UGB-SPCT filter over a wider frequency range than the SPCT filter since a UGB has nearly unity gain over a wide frequency range. key words: switched-capacitor, unity gain bu er, parallel cyclic
