Abstract

A low pass filter includes a driver unit configured to output a voltage proportional to an input pulse width, a charge/discharge unit configured to charge the output voltage of the driver unit, a comparator unit configured to compare an output voltage of the charge/discharge unit with a reference value to output a square wave signal, and a switching unit configured to switch the charge/discharge unit to an operation state, based on a bandwidth expansion signal.
