In 1989 a new analog IC sampled-data circuit technique was proposed called the Switched-Current (SI) technique. Unlike other IC circuit techniques, the SI technique can realize analog functions using only MOS transistors without the need of any resistor, capacitor or other linear component. This is beneficial to the IC community at large, as mixed-signal IC's can now be realized using a standard digital CMOS process. SI circuits are classified into two groups: first or second-generation, duly named to correspond to the time of their introduction. On account of circuits that have been proposed over the past five years, this thesis will attempt to determine which circuits are better and what design strategy IC designers should follow when working with SI circuits.
Specifically, this thesis will investigate the linear and non-linear behaviors of the various SI circuits using a relatively new frequency-domain analysis technique.
Finally, to verify the simulation results, two second-order SI filters were designed, laid-out and fabricated using first and second-generation cells in a 1.2 $ mu$m CMOS process. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
