Frequency tuning system for an OTA-C pair. |
摘要 |
Based on the insight that the voltage-to-current ratio or gain of a capacitor (Z) at a particular reference frequency is the product of its capacitance value with said reference frequency, a tuning system is disclosed which tunes the characteristic integrator frequency (fc) of an OTA-C integrator by making the transconductance of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) thereof equal to the aforementioned gain at that characteristic frequency. Therefore, the tuning system includes a first tuning path in which the OTA (or a replica thereof) is included and a second tuning path including another amplifier (B-OTA) "degenerated" by the capacitor (Z) so as to produce the required gain. The gains of both these tuning paths are then equalized by matching means (MM) generating a frequency tuning signal (VTF) which is applied to both OTA and OTA-C. <IMAGE>
