Abstract

The design process for integrated continuous-time (CT) filters brings together several disciplines including filter and network theory, analog circuit design, and circuit modeling. Consequently, the designer of such a filter must consider issues ranging from IC fabrication technology to filter architecture to circuit-level design. This chapter synopsizes fundamental topics pertaining to the physical realization of integrated CT filters. As in Chapter 2, the scope of all relevant topics is far too broad for a full treatment here. Accordingly, the presentation of topics in this chapter is focused on issues of particular importance to the design of precision video-frequency lowpass filters. For further study of integrated CT filters, see Refs. [1–3].
