Abstract

Data on a 7th order programmable gm-C filter in 0.35µm CMOS with 160MHz maximum pole frequency are provided. Techniques to increase the bandwidth of gm-C filters in further scaled technologies, while preserving dynamic range and accuracy, are presented. GHz passive LC filters, based on master slave tuning, are introduced.
