    摘要: The present invention provides a filtering circuit comprising a poly phase filter and a quadrature phase detector. The poly phase filter comprises a first path, a second path, a third path and a fourth path. The first path is configured to receive a first input signal to generate a first clock signal. The second path comprising a first adjustable delay circuit is configured to receive the first input signal to generate a second clock signal. The third path comprising a second adjustable delay circuit is configured to receive a second input signal to generate a third clock signal. The fourth path is configured to receive the second input signal to generate a fourth clock signal. The quadrature phase detector is configured to detect phases of these clock signals to generate control signals to control the first adjustable delay circuit and the second adjustable delay circuit.

    摘要: A filter circuit includes a polyphase filter (200) used to generate a plurality of output signals (I p ,I n ,Q p ,Q n ) with different phases according to a plurality of input signals (Vip,Vin). The polyphase filter includes a switch circuit (MN1) and a feed-forward capacitor (C_ff1). The switch circuit has a control terminal (N12) used to receive a control voltage, a first connection terminal used to output one of the output signals, and a second connection terminal (N11) used to receive one of the input signals. The feed-forward capacitor has a first plate coupled to the second connection terminal of the switch circuit and a second plate coupled to the control terminal of the switch circuit. The variable resistance of the switch is used as resistor in the RC polyphase structure. The feed-forward capacitor is used for continuous time bootstrapping of the switch circuit such that the resistance of the switch is not influenced by the signal swing of the input signal. The feed-forward capacitor together with a bias resistor at the control terminal of the switch circuit forms a high-pass filter for coupling the input signal to the control terminal.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a time division interleaving band-pass filter for use in voice activity detection, which operates at different central frequencies in respective intervals of a predetermined period of time. The band-pass filter circuitry includes multiple band-pass filtering channels sharing a common transistor circuit, bias circuit and current mirror circuit. The multiple band-pass filtering channels operate in a time division interleaving manner, which enables the sharing of the common set of band-pass filter circuitry components. Thus, the present invention allows a reduced chip area as the area does not increase proportionally with the number of filtering channels. The invention also mitigates the influence of transistor fabrication variations on the filter's central frequencies. Moreover, pulse durations t i are additionally introduced to the determination of the central frequencies, dispensing with the need for matching of current mirror circuits and transistors and resulting in higher accuracy of the band-pass filter's central frequencies. As a result, more band-pass filtering channels with different central frequencies can be included for a given frequency range.
