Hugo Serra, João Pedro Oliveira, and João Goes, from CTS-UNINOVA and the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of NOVA FCT, have received a Best Paper Award at the 32nd International Conference "Mixed Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems" (MIXDES 2025), held on June 26–27, 2025, in Szczecin, Poland.
The awarded paper, titled "Optimum Design of a Mostly-Digital Fleischer-Laker Switched-Capacitor Bilinear Bandpass Filter in Standard CMOS Technology", introduces a novel design approach for switched-capacitor filters using inverter-based amplifiers. This mostly-digital implementation addresses the challenges posed by modern nanoscale CMOS technologies, where traditional analog opamps face limitations in gain and bandwidth, making it suitable for energy-efficient Integrated Circuits (IC).
