Question

Distinguish between butterworth and switched capacitor filter

Answer 1

Answer:

Switched-capacitor fractional-step filter design of low-pass filter prototypes with Butterworth characteristics is reported in this work for the first time. This is achieved using discrete-time integrators which implement both the bilinear and the Al-Alaoui s-to-z transformations. Filters of orders 1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 as well as 3.2, 3.5, and 3.8 are designed and verified using transistor-level simulations with Cadence on AMS 0.35μ0.35μm CMOS process. Digital programmability of the fractional-step filters is also achieved.
