This paper presents a switched capacitor low-pass filter in a 28-nm fully depleted silicon on insulator CMOS technology for 77-GHz automotive radar applications. It is operated at a power supply as low as 1 V and guarantees 5-dB in-band voltage gain while providing out-of-band attenuation higher than 36 dB and a programmable passband up to 30 MHz. A double sampling technique is adopted, which allows high operating frequency to be achieved while saving power. Moreover, low-voltage biasing and common-mode feedback circuits are exploited to guarantee an almost rail-to-rail output voltage swing. The proposed filter provides an output 1-dB compression point as high as 8.7 dBm with a power consumption of 9 mW. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first SC-based implementation of a low pass filter for automotive radar applications.

Buffer-based CMOS filters are maximally simplified circuits containing as few transistors as possible. Their applications, among others, include nano to micro watt biomedical sensors that process physiological signals of frequencies from 0.01 Hz to about 3 kHz. The order of a buffer-based filter is not greater than two. Hence, to obtain higher-order filters, a cascade of second-order filters is constructed. In this paper, a more general method for buffer-based filter synthesis is developed and presented. The method uses RLC ladder prototypes to obtain filters of arbitrary orders. In addition, a set of novel circuit solutions with ultra-low voltage and power are proposed. The introduced circuits were synthesized and simulated using 180-nm CMOS technology of X-FAB. One of the designed circuits is a fourth-order, low-pass filter that features: 100-Hz passband, 0.4-V supply voltage, power consumption of less than 5 nW, and dynamic range above 60 dB. Moreover, the total capacitance of the proposed filter (31 pF) is 25% lower compared to the structure synthesized using a conventional cascade method (40 pF).

This paper presents different novel CMOS realizations for the differential difference operational floating amplifier (DDOFA). The DDOFA was first introduced in Ref. 1 and was used to realize different analog circuits like integrators, filters and variable gain amplifiers. New CMOS realizations for the DDOFA are introduced in this literature. Furthermore the DDOFA is modified to realize a fully differential current conveyor (FDCC). Novel CMOS realizations of the FDCC are presented. The FDCC is used to realize second-order band pass–low-pass filter. Performance comparisons between the different realizations of the DDOFA and FDCC are given in this literature. PSPICE simulations of the overall proposed circuits are given using 0.25 μm CMOS Technology from TMSC MOSIS model and dual supply voltages of ±1.5 V.

In this paper, a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) based on floating active inductors (FAI) is presented. Compared with conventional TIAs, the proposed TIA has the advantages of a wider bandwidth, lower power dissipation, and smaller chip area. The schematics and characteristics of the FAI circuit are explained. Moreover, the proposed TIA employs the combination of capacitive degeneration, the broadband matching network, and the regulated cascode input stage to enhance the bandwidth and gain. This turns the TIA design into a fifth-order low pass filter with Butterworth response. The TIA is implemented using 0.18 μ m Rohm CMOS technology and consumes only 10.7 mW with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. When used with a 150 fF photodiode capacitance, it exhibits the following characteristics: gain of 41 dB Ω and −3 dB frequency of 10 GHz. This TIA occupies an area of 180 μ m × 118 μ m.


This paper presents a voltage-mode(VM) tunable multifunction inverse filter configuration employing current differencing buffered amplifiers (CDBA). The presented structure utilizes two CDBAs, two/three capacitors and four/five resistors to realize inverse low pass filter (ILPF), inverse high pass filter (IHPF), inverse band pass filter (IBPF), and inverse band reject filter(IBRF) from the same circuit topology by suitable selection(s) of the branch admittances(s). PSPICE simulations have been performed with 0.18µm TSMC CMOS technology to validate the theory. Some sample experimental results have also been provided using off-the-shelf IC AD844 based CDBA.
