Abstract
Methods and apparatus for filtering a signal using a current-mode filter circuit implementing source degeneration. An example filter circuit generally includes an input node; an output node; a power supply node; a first transistor comprising a drain coupled to the input node; a second transistor comprising a drain coupled to the output node and comprising a gate coupled to a gate of the first transistor; a capacitive element coupled between the drain of the first transistor and the power supply node; a first resistive element coupled between the drain and the gate of the first transistor; a first source degeneration element coupled between a source of the first transistor and the power supply node; and a second source degeneration element coupled between a source of the second transistor and the power supply node.
