    This paper proposes a novel first-order multifunction filter capable of simultaneously realizing non-inverting and inverting low-pass, high-pass, and all-pass filter responses using multiple-input differential difference transconductance amplifiers (MI-DDTAs). The design leverages the shadow filter technique, enabling electronic tuning of the pole frequency across all filter responses through an external voltage-controlled amplifier. This approach offers enhanced flexibility and reconfigurability, making it highly attractive for adaptive analog signal processing. The MI-DDTA core is implemented using a multiple-input bulk-driven MOS transistor architecture, optimized for ultra-low-voltage and ultra-low-power operation. Designed in Cadence Virtuoso using the 65 nm TSMC CMOS (1P9M) process, the proposed MI-DDTA occupies a compact silicon area of 171 μm × 119 μm. Operating from a 500 mV supply, the shadow filter achieves a dynamic range of 55.9 dB for a 200 mV<inf>pp</inf> input signal, with total harmonic distortion limited to 1%. Owing to its exceptionally low bias currents, the shadow filter exhibits a total power consumption of only 124.11 nW, making it well suited for energy-constrained biomedical and IoT sensor applications, where low-frequency signal processing, compact implementation, and high energy efficiency are essential. To validate the proposed concept, a discrete prototype was also developed using MI-DDTA configurations built with LM13700 operational transconductance amplifiers. The experimental results confirm the expected filter behavior and demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed design in practical scenarios.

    A low-power, electronically tunable voltage-mode first-order universal filter employing a multiple-input operational transconductance amplifiers (MI-OTAs). It does not require component matching, input matching, or signal inversion, simplifying practical implementation. Designed in 65 nm CMOS at 0.5 V, it consumes 10 nW and achieves a 41.7 dB dynamic range. Experimental results using commercially available LM13600N integrated circuits confirm its practical feasibility and versatility for low-power biomedical applications.

    Ultra-low-power active filters have received increasing attention in recent years due to emerging applications such as bio-signal sensing and wearable electronic devices, where they are employed in the analog front-end to eliminate interference noise. This paper presents a novel voltage-mode shadow universal filter based on multiple-input operational transconductance amplifiers (MI-OTAs). The multiple-input functionality of the OTA is implemented using the multiple-input bulk-driven MOS transistor (MIBD-MOST) technique, which enables low supply voltage operation and a wide input voltage swing. Additionally, the use of subthreshold operation contributes to the low-power consumption of the OTA. The proposed shadow filter is implemented using a voltage-mode universal filter, in which the low-pass section is employed to control the natural frequency through an external amplifier. The proposed filter provides both non-inverting and inverting transfer functions of low-pass filter (LPF), high-pass filter (HPF), band-pass filter (BPF), band-stop filter (BSF), and all-pass filter (APF). The circuit was designed and simulated using Cadence Virtuoso, utilizing TSMC’s 65-nm 1P9M CMOS technology. The total silicon area of the MI-OTA measured 148 μm × 89 μm. Operating at a supply voltage of 0.5 V and a cutoff frequency of 31.2 Hz, the filter achieved an overall power consumption of 350 nW. Experimental validation was conducted using a prototype implemented with commercially available LM13700N integrated circuits, confirming the filter’s functionality and effectiveness. The proposed design is well suited for low-voltage, low-power applications, particularly low-frequency bio-signal processing such as EEG and EGG acquisition systems, as well as sensor interface systems.

    This paper presents a novel shadow universal filter implemented in voltage mode, based on multiple-input operational transconductance amplifiers (MI-OTAs). The proposed shadow universal filter incorporates both non-inverting and inverting transfer functions for low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop, and all-pass responses within a single topology. The proposed filter is a shadow universal filter that employs low-pass and high-pass filters feedback to the input. It enables independent control of the quality factor for all filtering responses through an external amplifier, without altering the natural frequency. Moreover, during quality factor tuning, any variation in passband gain can be compensated by appropriately adjusting the input signal configuration. These advantages of the proposed shadow universal filter are enabled by the multiple-input capability of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), which is implemented using the multiple-input bulk-driven MOS transistor (MIBD-MOST) technique. The MI-OTA operates at an ultra-low supply voltage of 0.45 V and consumes only 270 nW of power. For the low-pass shadow filter configuration, a dynamic range of 48 dB was achieved at 1% total harmonic distortion. Experimental validation was conducted using a prototype implemented with commercially available LM13700N integrated circuits, confirming the filter's functionality and effectiveness.
