The design of mixed signal integrated circuits is of continuing interest. The most important analog blocks in these are A/D converters, D/A converters, and filters. The art of analog filter design has been documented in several classic books used in academic institutions worldwide. Some books have focused completely on one particular topic, such as switched-capacitor filters, current-mode filters, or active RC filters (based on opamps). Some books have covered all or a few of these. To the author’s knowledge the most recent book appeared in 2005. More recent industry requirements in mixed signal chips include low-voltage operation, low power requirement, and high-frequency operation. Many specialized techniques will be needed to achieve these objectives. These interesting and innovative techniques are documented in reputable journals such the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, among others. Hence, introducing these into the curriculum is of utmost importance so that students may graduate with up-to-date knowledge to cater to the needs of industry. In addition, it has become important to teach most relevant information in the short space of one or two semesters while giving sufficiently broad coverage of the various topics. This book is an effort in this direction. Contemporary designs of VLSI analog filters can be classified into active RC filters, OTA (operational transconductance amplifier)-C filters, SC (switched-capacitor) filters, log-domain filters, MOSFET-C filters, current-mode filters using devices such as current conveyors or current feedback amplifiers, and so on. Among these perhaps the most popular have been the first three because of the possible ease of design, implementation, and versatility good high-frequency performance and the ability to work at low power supply voltages and in an acceptable dynamic range
