Design And Analysis Of Miso Bi-Quad Active Filter

In this paper, a multiple-input single-output (MISO) voltage-mode bi-quad active filter using voltage differencing voltage transconductance amplifier (VDVTA) is designed and analysed. The filter can realize several functions such as low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), band-pass (BP), band-reject (BR) and all-pass (AP). The proposed configuration employs three input voltages and generates a single output voltage. The filter characteristics, i.e., pole frequency (omega(p)) and quality factor (Q) are electronically tunable through the bias current of the VDVTA. The filter performance is analysed through sensitivity analysis in presence of parasitics as well as process, voltage and temperature fluctuations. The proposed design is implemented in a 45-nm CMOS technology and simulated using Virtuoso Analog Design Environment of Cadence.
