EE 508 Lecture 25 Integrator Design Review from last time Parasitic Capacitances on Floating Nodes Floating Node Not Floationg Node Z2 Zk Z1 CP2 CP1 CP Parasitic capacitances ideally have no affect on filter when on a non-floating node but directly affect transfer function when they appear on a floating node Parasitic capacitances are invariably large, nonlinear, and highly process dependent in integrated filters. Thus, it is difficult to build accurate integrated filters if floating nodes are present Generally avoid floating nodes, if possible, in integrated filters Review from last time Which type of Biquad is really used?
