Abstract
A differential gyrator based filter is disclosed that preferably has a first gyrator connected to the positive input signal of the differential input signal and a second gyrator connected to the negative input signal of the differential input signal. A load capacitor is connected between the load terminals of the first gyrator and second gyrator, which minimizes the total load capacitance required for the gyrator based filter. This implementation is believed to increase the overall density, reliability, yield, signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of the gyrator based filter and related circuitry.
