Automatic tuning of continuous-time integrated filters using an adaptive filter technique

An adaptive filter technique for tuning continuous-time integrated filters is presented. This technique is based on the model-matching configuration and tunes both the poles and zeros of the transfer function. Circuit details of an experimental prototype are given. The experimental prototype consists of an integrated third-order filter that is automatically tuned by off-chip circuitry realizing the adaptive tuning system. Both experimental and simulation results are presented to confirm the viability of the proposed approach.>
