  • Patent number: 6031416
    Abstract: A CMOS elementary cell of the first order for time-continuous analog filters with non-linearity compensation, is connected between a first supply voltage reference and a second voltage reference. The cell is of a type which comprises at least a first MOS transistor having its conduction terminals connected to the first supply voltage reference and to an output terminal, and having a control terminal connected to an input terminal of the first order CMOS elementary cell. The cell further comprises a second MOS transistor in diode configuration, and an equivalent capacitor, both connected to the output terminal of the first order CMOS elementary cell. The second, diode-connected MOS transistor and the equivalent capacitor act as a load for the first MOS transistor. The first MOS transistor operates as a drive transistor operatively tied to an input voltage signal being supplied to the input terminal of the first order CMOS elementary cell. A second order filter CMOS elementary cell is similarly connected.
