This paper presents a power efficient transconductor-capacitor () filter for front-end processing of bio-medical signals. A low voltage, low-power transconductor with improved output resistance is proposed. It offers a transconductance () of 5.85 nS while operating at a supply voltage () of 0.8 V. Furthermore, a low-power Proportional to Absolute Temperature (PTAT) current reference circuit is designed to bias the transconductor and to makeindependent of temperature. It follows PTAT characteristics in the temperature range of −20C to 70C and is less sensitive tovariations. A second-order Butterworth low-pass filter (LPF) with a cutoff frequency of 100 Hz is implemented to validate the proposed transconductor and the PTAT circuit. The filter is designed in UMC 65 nm CMOS process and it takes an area of 0.065 mm. While consuming a power of 47 nW, it offers a dynamic range (DR) of 55.1 dB. Figure-of-merit (FoM) of the filter is as low asJ, which is found to be on par with the filters reported in the literature.
