Abstract

There is disclosed a low frequency filter. A low frequency cutoff filter includes a filter circuit having a capacitor connected between an input terminal and an output terminal and an active resistor connected to the output terminal, having a very large resistance, and a bias circuit having a negative feedback to set a biasing voltage of the active resistor to a desired value, thereby implementing the cutoff filter within a semiconductor chip as one set with the capacitor having a small capacitance. A low frequency pass filter includes an active resistor having a very large resistance, means for setting a biasing voltage of the active resistor to a desired value, and a capacitor connected between the output terminal and the ground. Therefore, the low pass filter can be integrated-circuited using even small capacitor.
