On-Line Error Detection for Continuous-Time MOSFET-C Filters

An on-line test methodology for MOSFET-C filters is presented, based on comparing the outputs from the different biquads in a filter to the output of a programmable biquad. The implementation of this biquad as well as that of a comparison circuit is discussed, and a design example is given.
