A new CMOS current-mode integrator for low-voltage analog integrated circuit design is presented. The proposed current-mode integrator is based on cross-coupled gain-boosting topology. When it is compared with that of the typical current-mirror type current-mode integrator, the proposed current-mode integrator achieves high current gain and unity gain frequency with the same transistor size. As a application circuit of the proposed integrator, we designed the 1.8V 200MHz band current-mode lowpass filter. These are verified by Hspice simulation using $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology.

In this paper, a new continuous-time current-mode integrator as basic building block of the low-voltage analog current-mode active filters was proposed. Compared to the current-mode integrator which was proposed by Zele, the proposed current-mode integrator had higher unity gain frequency and output impedance in addition to lower power dissipation. And also, a current-mode third-order lowpass active filter was designed with the proposed current-mode integrator. The designed circuits were fabricated using the ORBIT's 1.2.mu.m double-poly double-metal CMOS n-well process. The experimental resutls of the active filter designed and fabricated for this research have shown that it has the performance of 44.5MHz cutoff frequency, 3.3mW power dissipation and the third-order active filter area was 0.12mm$^{2}$.

In this paper, a current-mode integrator for low-voltage, low-power analog integrated circuits is presented. Using the proposed current-mode integrator, the baseband analog filter is designed for WCDMA wireless communication. To verify the proposed current-mode integrator circuit, Hspice simulation using 1.8V TSMC $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS parameter is performed and achieved 44.9dB gain, 15.7MHz unity gain frequency. The described 3rd-order current-mode baseband analog filter is composed of the proposed current-mode integrator, and SFG(Signal Flow Graph) method is used to realize the baseband filter. The simulated results show 2.12MHz cutoff frequency which is suitable for WCDMA baseband block.

연속시간 전류모드 기저대역 채널선택 필터 설계를 위하여 전류이득과 단위이득 주파수를 개선시킨 저전압 선형 캐스코드 전류모드 적분기를 제안하였다. 제안된 전류모드 적분기는 CMOS 상보형 회로로 구성된 완전 차동 형태의 입 출력단으로 구성하였으며, 여기에 캐스코드 트랜지스터를 추가시킴으로써 바이어스 단을 구성하여 선형영역에서 동작시켜 저전압 구조에 적합하도록 설계하였다. 이 때 바이어스 전압을 선택적으로 제어하여 주파수 대역이 가변될 수 있도록 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 설계한 선형 캐스코드 전류모드 적분기가 저전압 동작, 전류 이득 및 단위이득 주파수 등 모두 만족할 만한 특성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

A circuit building block for realizing a continuous-time active-only current-mode integrator is presented. The proposed integrator is composed only of internally compensated type operational amplifier (OA) and operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). The integrator is suitable for integrated circuit implementation in either bipolar or CMOS technologies, since it does not require any external passive elements. Moreover, the integrator gain can be tuned through the transconductance gains of the OTAs. Some application examples in the realization of current-mode network functions using the proposed current-mode integrator as an active element are also given.

In this paper, a new CMOS continuous-time fully-differential current-mode integrator is proposed as a basic building block of the low-voltage high frequency current-mode active filter. The proposed integrator is composed of the CMOS complementary circuit which can extend transconductance of an integrator. Therefore, the unity gain frequency which is determined by a small-signal transconductance and a MOSFET gate capacitance can be expanded by the complementary transconductance of the proposed integrator. And also the magnitude of pole and zero are increased. The unity gain frequency of the proposed integrator is increased about two times larger than that of the conventional continuous-time fully-differential integrator with NMOS-gm. These results are verified by the small signal analysis and the SPICE simulation. As an application circuit of the proposed fully-differential current-mode integrator, the three-pole Chebyshev lowpass filter is designed using 0.8.$\mu$m CMOS processing parameters. SPICE simulation predicts a 3-dB bandwidth of 148MHz and power dissipation of 4.3mW/pole for the three-pole filter with 3-V power supply.

In this paper, a dual mode baseband analog channel selection filter is described which is designed for the Bluetooth and WCDMA wireless communications. Using the presented current-mode integrator, a dual mode channel selection filter is designed. To verify the current-mode integrator circuit, Hspice simulation using 1.8V Hynix $0.18{\mu}m$ standard CMOS technology was performed and achieved $50.0{\sim}4.3dB$ gain, $2.29{\sim}10.3MHz$ unity gain frequency. The described third-order dual mode analog channel selection filter is composed of the current-mode integrator, and used SFG(Signal Flow Graph) method. The simulated results show 0.51, 2.40MHz cutoff frequency which is suitable for the Bluetooth and WCDMA baseband block each.

Fluxmeter is a measuring instrument the magnetic flux intensity by means of an integration of the voltage induced to a search coil to unit time. It also is required to a precise integrator since the voltage induced to a search coil has a differential value of the flux ${\Phi}$ to unit time. In this study, a bias current which is a main problem of the integrator in a drift troublesome depending on the temperature of a FET is investigated. We have confirmed that the temperature dependence of both the bias current of a integrator using the FET and the reversal saturated current of the minor carrier in a P-N junction of a semiconductor were the same. The property of a commercial integrator goes rapidly down with increasing temperature. The bias current of a FET is increased twice as much with 10$^{\circ}C$ increment. As a result, the low drift integrator could be developed by setting the lower temperature up with a pottier device.
