Design of low voltage transconductor for fully differential Gm-C filter

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

A fully differential transconductor using the series composite transistor is proposed. Simulation results show that THD is less than 1.2% for the differential input signal of up to 1.5VP-P when the input signal frequency is 10MHz. The proposed transconductor is used to design a third-order elliptic Gm-C lowpass filter with 138kHz cutoff frequency for ADSL Tx filter. The design procedure is based on signal flow graph(SFG) of a doubly-terminated LC ladder filter by means of fully differential transconductors and capacitors. The filter is fabricated and measured with a 0.35μm CMOS process.
