Ieee Iisc Vlsi Poster 20250129

The IEEE-IISc VLSI Chapter is hosting a presentation on design techniques for ultra-low-distortion filters, focusing on opamp-based filters with detailed transistor-level insights. The talk will cover methods to achieve low distortion in active-RC band-pass filters and sinusoidal oscillators, demonstrating prototypes with impressive THD performance. The event is scheduled for January 29, 2025, from 5:00-6:30 PM at IISc, followed by a Freshers' Orientation.

Design Techniques for


Ultra-Low-Distortion Filters
Opamp-based Filters with More Transistor Level Details
Histogram test and THD measurement of high-resolution(18 to 20 bits) ADCs require a
sinusoidal source with THD approximately -140dBc. Bench-top generators can be used,
but they are bulky. The alternatives are to use a band-pass filter to clean up a medium-
accuracy (approximately -80 dBc) sinusoid from a DAC or to use a sinusoidal oscillator.
In either case, a very low distortion filter core is essential. This work investigates
techniques for realizing ultra-low-distortion band-pass filters.
Active-RC filters have a very low distortion because nonlinearities can be suppressed
using a high loop gain. The main sources of distortion in an active-RC bandpass filter
are (a) The nonlinearity of the output stage of the opamp used in the active filter
coupled with the capacitance at the input of that stage; This is suppressed using a
buffer between the first and the second stage of the opamp, (b) distortion contributed
by passive components(integrating capacitors) in the feedback loop that is not
suppressed by the loop gain; This is mitigated using distortion cancellation, and (c)
output conductance nonlinearity of the opamp; This is suppressed using a gain-
boosted cascode output stage.
Using the principles above, low-distortion band-pass filters and sinusoidal oscillators
are demonstrated in a 0.6 μm process. With a 5.6V supply, the 1kHz/10kHz band-pass
filter prototype has 60 dB HD2 attenuation and -143 dBc/ -142 dBc THD for a 10 Vppd
output. The 1 kHz/ 10 kHz oscillator has -133 dBc/ -111 dBc THD for a 10 Vppd output.
