What is Gm-C filters?

 Definition:
 Active filter controlled by OTA (current gain) and capacitors parameters,
over a CMOS or BiCMOS technology.

 Key Points:
 Introduction
 Comparative of RC, MOSFET-C and Gm-C filters
 Biquad overview
 Gm-C filter synthesis

Introduction: Gm-C Filters
 Where / why we do use Continous-Time Filters:
 Pre and post filters for sampled-data systems;
 Mixed analog digital systems;
 Biomedical applications (peacemarker);
 Area and Power efficient solution.

 Gm-C Filters properties:


 Well-suited for high-frequency applications;
 Many transconductance elements required;
 Limited dynamic range (OTA nonlinearities);
