Design of current-mode MOSFET-C filters using OTRAs

In this paper, third-order current-mode MOSFET-C filters that use operational transresistance amplifiers (OTRAs) with little parasitic capacitance effects are presented. On the basis of the proposed systematic method and design procedure, we can efficiently synthesize third-order active filters with OTRAs along with simplified MOSFET resistor circuits, and all virtually grounded capacitors. Third-order currentmode Chebychev low-pass and high-pass filters are realized to verify the validity of the theoretical analysis. Experimental results employing commercially available current feedback amplifiers are also given. Copyright q 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
