摘要:
A wide-band, high-order, programmable video filter is implemented using transimpedance-based active integrators. An input voltage which may for instance represent a composite video signal is converted to a current in a linear manner using resistors and provided to a current amplifier at low impedance virtual ground nodes. The current is multiplied by a gain factor .beta..sub.R within the current amplifier and supplied to integrating capacitors connected in a feedback configuration around a high input impedance differential amplifier to establish an integrated differential voltage output. The transimpedance-based active integrators may be interconnected to realize wide-band, high-order video filters suitable for use in accordance with CCIR 601 standards. Input voltage swings are not restricted by a transistor's limited range of linear operation or voltage swing limitations of internal nodes but rather may allowed to swing as long as the bias currents sustain input current excursions. Thus, pre-filter attenuation and post-filter amplification is not required, thereby allowing CCIR 601 standard compliant video filters to be fabricated, in accordance with the present invention, as a single chip IC.

摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit to provide a low distortion, large swing intermediate frequency wherein the circuit includes the function of mixing, filtering, and amplification on a single chip. A pair of differential currents are obtained from the mixer, the differential currents are filtered and conditioned, converted to a pair of differential voltages and amplified to obtain the low distortion, large swing intermediate frequency.
