Design and Analysis of Integrator-Based Log-Domain Filter Circuits [Hardcover]

This title deals with the design and analysis of log-domain filter circuits. It describes synthesis methods for developing bipolar or BiCMOS filter circuits with cut-off frequencies ranging from the low kilohertz range to several hundred megahertz. Numerous examples provide measured experimental data from IC prototypes.

Design and Analysis of Integrator-Based Log-Domain Filter Circuits deals with the design and analysis of log-domain filter circuits. It describes several synthesis methods that aid the designer in developing bipolar or BiCMOS filter circuits with cut-off frequencies ranging from the low kilohertz range to several hundreds of megahertz. Filter response deviations due to transistor-level nonidealities are systematically analyzed, leading to effective electronic compensation schemes. Numerous examples are provided in the text with measured experimental data from IC prototypes. Design and Analysis of Integrator-Based Log-Domain Filter Circuits is intended for engineers in research or development, as well as advanced-level engineering students. Extensive discussion on filter text metrics should also interest engineers who are responsible for testing high-performance, high-speed analog or mixed-signal products.Foreword; R. Adams. Preface. 1.
