A Tunable Log-Domain Filter Using Vertical Bipolar Junction Transistor

Traditionally, the design of continuous time active filters usually has a trade offbetween low-voltage and high dynamic range. One way to solve this problem is companding technology. There are two methods for companding filters. The first method utilizes the
exponential I-V characteristics of BJT in the saturation region. In order to reduce the cost andintegrate the analog and digital circuits, the other method was exploited using CMOS process. In this project, a new first-order low pass log-domain filter based on CMOS parasitic vertical BJTwill be proposed. This filter has higher frequency response than previous circuits.
We will first employ Hspice to simulate the log-domain filter to ensure the correctness of the circuit and make it a reliable reference with the circuit layout. After summarizing all the simulations and analyses, the chip will be fabricated with 0.35um CMOS technology.
