LOW POWER CONSUMPTION CMOS DESIGN

It has many applications in sensor interfaces and b iomedical signal processing units. Biomedical signa ls are usually of 10-mHz to 100-Hz frequency range. The performance of filters designed by the use of passive components degrades at audio frequencies and the required resistances and inductances values cal culated from the mathematical expression are very difficult to meet from the market. To find a solution to this problem is a stu dy to realize Passive Filters into Active Filters u sing Operational Transconductance.
