Improved circuits for the realization of switched-capacitor filters

Abstract

New topologies for switched-capacitor filters are presented. The circuits are based on a pair of complementary integrators and have transfer functions independent of parasitic capacitances between any node and ground. Design equations are given for low-pass, bandpass, high-pass, and notch biquads, as well as ladder simulation filters. The ladder simulation filters are scaled for optimum dynamic range. Discrete prototypes of both cascade and ladder simulation filters are used to verify the theory.
