Abstract
Abstract A low pass filter which comprises first, second and third switched capacitor circuits connected to a power source V DD and/or a power source V SS , first and second operational amplifiers driven by the power sources V DD and V SS , and a bias circuit connected between the power sources V DD and V SS for providing a bias voltage to the non-inverting input terminals of the first and second amplifiers.
