Abstract

See full text

A switched capacitor biquadratic filter (10; 20) includes means for dynamically shifting the level of the input voltage (V.sub.B, V.sub.D ; V.sub.X, V.sub.Y,) of the amplifiers (12, 14), so that the need for a level shifting stage in the amplifiers (12; 14) is eliminated. The normally grounded nodes associated with the input ports of the amplifiers (12; 14) are set to a reference voltage (V.sub.B, V.sub.D ; V.sub.X, V.sub.Y) which shifts the inputs to a level appropriate to result in an analog grounded voltage at the outputs of the amplifiers. Internal level shifting stages are thereby eliminated from the amplifiers (12; 14). This gives the filter (10, 20) a broader operating frequency range. Also disclosed is a particular design for the amplifiers (12, 14) which includes a folded cascode mirror configuration.
