3V BiCMOS Analog Front-End for RDS Demodulation Systems

An analog filtering front-end for RDS demodulation systems has been realized. The circuit is operating with 3V power supply and low power consumption, to be employed in battery operated portable electronics. The overall design and, in particular, the adopted design strategies are reported and experimental results regarding a silicon implementation in a 1.2μm BiCMOS technology conclude the presentation.
