Switched capacitor sampling filter
First Claim
1. A circuit of the type comprising at least one basic cell arranged as a switched capacitor low pass sampling filter, together with a clock suitable for defining two different states for controlling sampling, wherein the circuit further comprises:
- upstream switching means suitable for inverting the polarity of an input signal to the cell during one of the two states; and
downstream switching means suitable for inverting an output signal from the cell, thereby making it possible to transpose the filtering frequency band of the cell from low-pass to high pass.

Abstract
This filter circuit comprises at least one basic cell (2) arranged as a switched capacitor sampling filter, together with a clock suitable for defining two different states for controlling sampling. According to the main characteristic of the invention, the circuit includes upstream switching means (4) suitable for inverting the polarity of the signal input to the cell during one of the two states, and downstream switching means (6) suitable for inverting the output signal from the cell (2). This makes it possible to transpose the filtering frequency band of the cell (2). The circuit is applicable to manufacturing switched capacitor sampling filters in the form of integrated circuits.
