Realization of MOS Compatible First-Order Active-C Networks

Abstract

The internal dynamics of an operational amplifier is utilized, alongwith, capacitors to realize a basic block, from which first-order low-pass, high-pass and ideal-integrator sections are derived for the design of linear integrated circuits (ICs). The realizations are suitable for implementation in MOS technology. Tunability over an appreciable range is possible with bias control. Experimental results are included.
