A band-pass Gm-C Filter design based on gm/ID methodology and characterization

This paper addresses the design of continuous-time CMOS Band-pass Gm-C Filter using a design methodology based on the gm/ID transistor characteristics. This analog module was analyzed, designed and prototyped in AMS 0.35μm CMOS technology. Experimental results are presented, in order to validate the methodology. The filter has a pass-band central frequency of about 5MHz (with a small tuning range), quality factor of 25 and a current consumption of 263μA.
