Inside a 1980s switched-capacitor filter chip
Original: A 1980s filter chip that uses switched capacitors
Ken Shirriff's latest chip reverse-engineering write-up examines the ML10, a 1980s analog filter chip that used switched capacitors to perform filtering without external inductors. The detailed teardown traces how the silicon implements the switched-capacitor technique, a notable approach of its era that let designers build precise filters on a single chip.
Why now: Readers of technical hardware blogs follow these reverse-engineering deep dives into vintage silicon and the clever analog design tricks of earlier eras.
