Adjusting the trans-conductance of a filter

摘要

A digital tuning circuit which generates a digital code representative of a difference of signals generated by a mirror trans-conductor circuit (having electrical characteristics similar to a trans-conductor circuit in a filter) and a reference circuit. The digital code is used to adjust the trans-conductance of both the mirror trans-conductor circuit and the filter. Some of the most/more significant bits may be used to selectively activate the respective trans-conductor elements contained in the mirror trans-conductor circuit and the filter. The remaining bits may be used to fine-tune the trans-conductance of the trans-conductor elements and the filter.
