In this paper a second order log-domain bandpass filter using multiple input translinear elements (MITEs) operating at a 3V supply. We enhance the capabilities of the filter by utilizing programmable MITE structures as well as programmable current sources, which are covered in this paper. The synthesized bandpass filter is implemented and fabricated using these programmable translinear devices (MITEs). Experimental results are shown from circuit fabricated on a 0.5μm nwell CMOS process available through MOSIS.

In this paper, we propose a modification to the class of circuits known as multiple input translinear element (MITE) networks. Our proposed modification leads to a MITE network that is free from certain nonidealities encountered in previous implementations. Further, the new MITE network described here readily accommodates the use of bipolar junction transistors in the input and output stages, thus implying a significantly wider dynamic range than we can achieve using subthreshold MOSFETs.
