Abstract :
An explanation of what switched-capacitor (SC) filters are and how they work is given. Attention is focused on low-sensitivity SC filters, which can be developed from a general passive ladder where the branches are arbitrary impedances. The equations that describe the filter components are reviewed, and the characteristics of these low-sensitivity filters are outlined. Applications of the filters in telecommunications are discussed.<>
