  • Patent number: 6239653
    Abstract: The invention relates to an elementary biquadratic cell for programmable time-continuous analog filters. The biquadratic cell is coupled between a first voltage reference and a second voltage reference and has at least one pair of input terminals and first and second pairs of output terminals. The cell includes a pair of half-cells, which half-cells are structurally identical with each other. Each half-cell comprises at least a first transistor coupled between the first and the second voltage reference and having a base terminal connected to a respective one of the input terminals. Each half-cell further comprises second and third transistors coupled between the first and second voltage references. The second transistor has a base terminal connected to the first output terminal of the first pair of output terminals and a collector terminal connected to the first output terminal of the second pair of output terminals.
