Automated Optimal Design of Switched-Capacitor Filters
Arjang Hassibi, M. del Mar Hershenson · Design, Automation, and Test in Europe · 2002
We present a method for automated design of CMOS switched-capacitor filters (SCFs) from user defined top-level specifications to component sizes and physical layout. In other words, we present a complete top-down design flow for SCFs. The method is based on careful analysis and modeling of the SCF using analog circuit design and system engineering expertise, formulating design constraints in a special convex form, and numerical optimization (geometric programming).
