However, when semiconductors are used to represent filters and filters, engineering changes can cause distortions of up to ±25% relative to the cutoff frequency required for design. The Gm_c filter allows the Laby phase-locked loop (4) a ked-circuit to adjust the cutoff frequency. However, the active resistance is electrically charged.

As shown in the fifth riding, the Vdd voltage is a step function (clearing ction) that increases from 〇 to VDD. Due to the step function input through the reset terminal, the output voltage (Vrc) of the primary passive chopper (100) exhibits a gradually increasing waveform as shown in Fig. 5. The first comparator (10) is an operational amplifier (〇perati〇namplifier), the (+) terminal is connected to the output of the passive test (·), and the (1) terminal is connected to the reference battery. The output voltage (f) of the first-comparator_parallel-passive filter_ is compared with the reference power OW, and the waveform as shown in Fig. 5 is rotated. When the output voltage (vRC) of the sub-no-waver_ is lower than the reference dragon (Vref), the first comparator (10) outputs the low-frequency (four)) signal, and the output 峨Vrc) of the passive filter 00) is greater than the reference power. The first comparator (200) outputs a high frequency signal from the moment M (v dirty). Using Equation 2 below, the time at which the first comparator (10) outputs the high frequency signal 201121232 can be calculated. t = -RREFC· 111(1-¥卿f vDD) [Formula 2] When the reference voltage (Vref) is fixed at a constant value, the resistance (Rref) and capacitance (3⁄4) of the passive filter _ will be used once. The value of the value is set to a specific value, and the time at which the output signal of the first comparator becomes a high frequency signal can be known. Therefore, in the third comparator (400) of the present day and the month, the period when the I voltage is applied to the reset terminal is the period (four) from the time when the first comparator outputs the high frequency signal, and the equation 2 is transmitted. The calculated time (1) is compared so that it can predict how much electricity and how much the email has changed due to engineering changes. First, the 'second comparator (3〇0) is an operational amplifier whose (1) terminal is connected to the reset terminal and the (_) terminal is connected to the reference voltage (Vref). At this time, the reference voltage (Vr£f) is set to a voltage lower than V such as voltage. Thus, when the reset terminal is applied with the voltage of 〇 v, the second ratio is outputted as the low frequency signal '. When the Vdd voltage is applied due to the step function, the second comparator (9) outputs the high frequency signal. The third comparator_ is a mutually exclusive (X0R) gate having a first input coupled to the first comparator (200) and a second input coupled to the second comparator (3〇〇). The third comparator (400) outputs a high frequency signal in the case where the potential of the output signal of the first comparator_ and the output signal of the second comparator (10) are different. As shown in Fig. 5, the horse frequency signal of the third comparator (4 〇〇) is outputted during the period (tw), and can be expressed as a pulse wave of the pulse wave amplitude during the period (tw). In the embodiment of the present invention, 'between the reset terminal and the third comparator (400) and connected with the first-birth (20__ compares H', that is, the second ratio is fresh (the program 'so can be compared to the comparator The effect of the delay of the 201121232 itself on the pulse amplitude (tw) of the third comparator (400). The enable terminal (EN) in the counter (500) is connected to the output of the third comparator (400), The reference clock is input to the clock terminal (CLK). As shown in Fig. 5, the pulse with the pulse amplitude (tw) is input from the third comparator (4〇〇). 〇0) Count the number of input reference clocks. At this time, according to whether the counter (500) is an up-counter (up_counter) or a down-sequence counter (D〇WN c〇unter), the number of counters (500) is output ( p) will be different. In the case where the counter (500) is an up-sequence counter, the up-sequence counter counts the number of reference clocks (7) input within the pulse amplitude and outputs it to the digital block (_). 5〇0) In the case of a down-sequence counter, the down-sequence counter considers the good resistance for the coffee) and the electric valley (CreF) The reference number (Prc) of the reference clock applied during the amplitude (tw) period is calculated and pre-set by the mosquito. The pulse amplitude (tw) calculated by the values of fja (RREF) and capacitance (c (4)) is When 1〇us ' and the reference clock is 4〇MHz, the reference number of the reference clock calculated by the down-sequence counter will be completely. Due to the engineering change, the pure constant according to the resistance ^) and the current (REF) becomes small. The wave amplitude (6) is reduced, so that the output quantity (P) of the down-sequence counter becomes a positive value that cannot be chatted.
