An alternative synthesis mechanism of complex poles is proposed compared with source-follower-based bi-quad cells which is designed applying the positive feedback technique. Using the negative feedback technique to combine different integrators, the proposed bi-quad cell synthesizes complex poles for designing a continuous time filter. It exhibits various advantages including compact topology, high gain, no parasitic pole, no CMFB circuit, and high capability. The fourth-order Butterworth lowpass filter using the proposed cells has been fabricated in 0.18μm CMOS technology. The active area occupied by the filter with test buffer is only 200 × 170 μm^2. The proposed filter consumes a low power of 201 μW and achieves a 68.5 dB dynamic range.展开更多
