Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present a simple filter topology, which can be used to implement first- and second-order MOS-only allpass filters. The resulting filters realize the allpass functions without using any external passive components; hence these occupy very small chip area and are capable of operating at high frequencies. Cadence Spectre simulation and experimental results verifying the main advantages of the filters are provided.
