Abstract

We propose in this paper a tunable second order band-pass filter based on two CMOS current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs). The CFOA includes a novel offset compensation technique. A digital building block is implemented in the proposed band-pass filter to tune its central frequency. An important feature of the adopted tuning procedure is the ability to tune the filter without affecting other characteristics such as gain, phase and quality factor. The band-pass filter topology is validated with a configuration where the central frequency is tuned from 60 MHz to 95 MHz with frequency steps of 5 MHz. Measurements of the offset-compensated CFOA are promising, and simulation results of the CFOA-based band-pass filter using the 0.18 μ m CMOS process confirm our theoretical analysis.
