Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a signal-path filter, a high-pass filter, and a control circuit. The signal-path filter is configured to receive an input signal and provide an output signal. The high-pass filter is coupled to the signal-path filter and is configured to reduce a direct-current (DC) component of the input signal. The high-pass filter includes a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) switch, wherein a corner frequency of the high-pass filter is based on a resistance of the MOS switch. The control circuit is configured to provide a control voltage to the MOS switch. The control circuit includes a reference resistor, wherein the resistance of the MOS switch substantially tracks the resistance of the reference resistor. The integrated circuit may be embodied in software and/or included in a device (e.g., a mobile telephone) that receives and filters a signal.
