CMOS Realization of Fully Electronically Tunable Single Resistance Control Mixed Mode Biquad Filter Employing Single VDTA at ± 0.6V

Abstract

This paper presents a single VDTA based Mixed Mode type Biquad filter. The proposed Transadmittance Mode (TAM) type Biquad filter configuration employed single voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA) as an active building block, three passive element namely one grounded resistor, one grounded capacitor and one floating capacitor. The proposed transadmittance Mode multifunction Biquad filter configuration is presenting transadmittance mode type four basic standard filter functions low pass, high pass, band pass, band reject or band stop or band eliminate filter responses. These four type filter responses are realizing simultaneously with the selection of single input voltage signal. The proposed Transadmittance Mode multifunction Biquad filter configuration has more advantageous features such as low active and passive sensitivities, low power supply voltage, low power consumption, low quality factor, very low power consumption, more electronic tunability, higher linearity and required small area of the chip. The performance of the proposed configuration has been verified through PSPICE simulation using 0.18μm CMOS Technology process parameters.
