R Vin Vout C GND GND Passive Filters Equate currents: C(dVout/dt) = (Vin – Vout) / R t = R * C t(dVout/dt) = (Vin – Vout) C Vin Vout C ( d(Vin – Vout)/dt) = Vout/R R t(d(Vin – Vout)/dt) = Vout
Response of a linear system Impulse response of a low-pass filter V=(1)exp( -t/t ) V = V(0)exp( -t / t ) V = (e-1)exp( -t/t ) V = (e-2)exp( -t/t ) • Behavior is independent of boundary conditions • Boundary conditions only scale the result • (double the input, double the output)

Tuning Frequency using Bias Current C = 1pF, W/L of input transistors = 30, Ith ~ 10mA. This approach is the most power-efficient approach for any filter. All electronically tunable: Advantage: we can electronically change the corner Disadvantage: we need a method to set this frequency (tuning)
