The On-Chip Automatic Tuning of Continuous-Time Filters

  • Chapter
High-Performance CMOS Continuous-Time Filters

Abstract

In this chapter we go up to the system level. The OTAs, the resistors and the capacitors are considered as the building blocks. They are represented by a simple macro-model but including the parameters that reproduces the main characteristics of the original block. This is a behavioral modeling of the building blocks [1–6].
