Descripción:
In this paper we make use of classical numerical
optimization methods to design a second order band-pass
continuous-time filter at 10.7 MHz in 0.35 μm CMOS technology.
Our initial design is obtained using Level 1 MOSFET models
whose parameter values are extracted from high-level models by
numerical optimization. We then replace all transistors by Level
49 MOSFET models and re-optimize the frequency response of
the filter using a multi-objective Euclidean formulation with a
penalty function. Our methodology is simple and efficient, and
can be implemented using readily available tools.
