- the other configuration is the same as that in FIG.
- a filter circuit (waveform shaping circuit) 115 is disposed following the frequency division circuit 112 that divides the reference signal of the reference signal generation circuit 111.
- This filter circuit 115 is composed of, for example, an RC-type low-pass filter. If the frequency-divided signal from the frequency-dividing circuit 112 is a rectangular wave, the filter circuit 115 has a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the frequency-divided signal. The RC time constant is determined, and the waveform of the divided signal is blunted. This dull signal becomes the input signal IS and the reference signal RS to the Gm-C filter 2.

- the update timing signal en is generated and output at the edge detection timing.
- the set number of times (2 times) is the number of edge counts corresponding to the time from the update of the transconductance Gm value to the disappearance of the waveform distortion of the output signal OS of the Gm-C filter due to the update. .
- the output signal OS of the Gm-C filter 2 fluctuates in the time width indicated by hatching in FIG.
- the wait period until this fluctuation converges and becomes steady can be set by the edge count number of the edge count circuit (generation cycle setting means for arbitrarily setting the generation cycle of the update timing signal en) 63. Therefore, it is possible to avoid malfunction of the filter adjustment circuit.

Further, the gain adjustment unit 172 adjusts the gain according to the count value of the counter 173, and when the count value of the counter 173 is small, the gain is increased and the gain is set smaller as the count value increases. For example, when the control amount holding block 75 is configured with 4 bits, the gain is set to “8” when the count value force is “0”, and the gain is set to “1”. Set to “4”, “2” for a “2” value, and “1” for a “3” value.
- the value of the transconductance Gm can be updated with a large gain at the beginning according to the number of outputs of the update timing signal en from the timing generation circuit 6, and when the filter adjustment proceeds, a small gain is obtained. Because the transconductance Gm value can be updated with high accuracy, the filter can be adjusted with high accuracy in a short time.
- FIG. 20 shows an internal configuration of the holding circuit 15 provided in the filter adjustment circuit of the present embodiment.
- the overall configuration is the same as in FIG.
- the determination of the increase / decrease direction of the control amount in the increase / decrease direction determination circuit 71 (see Fig. 9) of the control signal generation circuit 7 is performed according to the reference time series signal ref [1: 0] as shown in Fig. 21.

- the frequency of the clock signal that drives the digital circuit after the holding circuit 5 is set to a sufficiently high frequency with respect to the cutoff frequency fc of the Gm-C filter 2.
- the clock signal frequency is set according to the frequency of the input signal input to the Gm-C filter 2 and the required filter adjustment accuracy.

- a band-pass filter corresponding to the phase difference between and is realized.
- the complex filter shown in Fig. 22 requires very complex control to directly adjust its response characteristic. Therefore, in this embodiment, when performing the filter adjustment, the configuration is changed so that only one Gm-C type low-pass filter (a part of the filter unit) (for example, 23) constituting the complex filter is independent. Then, the filter adjustment is performed by the filter adjustment circuit shown in FIG. 1 using only the independent Gm-C type low-pass filter 23 as a filter adjustment target.
- filter adjustment can be performed easily and effectively compared to the case where filter adjustment is performed on the entire complex filter shown in FIG.
- FIG. 23 shows the overall configuration of the filter adjustment circuit of the present embodiment.
- the reference signal generation circuit 1 generates only the input signal IS, does not generate the reference signal, and uses the signal from the predetermined internal node in the Gm C filter 26 as the reference signal RS.
- the Gm-C filter 26 has a configuration in which two second-order filters are connected in series, a signal from the output node (predetermined internal node) of the first-order second-order filter is used as the reference signal RS. May be used.

- the timing generation circuit 6 generates the update timing signal en based on the reference time series signal ref from the holding circuit 5 and outputs the filter output time series signal from the force holding circuit 5
- the update timing signal en may be generated based on tgt.
- the two conversion circuits 3 and 4 binarized the output signal OS from the Gm-C filter 2 and the reference signal RS from the reference signal generation circuit 1 respectively.
- it can be quantized into a multilevel signal.
- the error of the response characteristic of the analog filter circuit caused by the variation in the manufacturing process can be adjusted with a relatively simple circuit configuration, so that the response characteristic of the analog filter circuit can be adjusted. It is useful as a circuit and can be applied to all system LSIs that require an analog filter circuit, such as wireless LSIs such as Bluetooth and LSIs such as DVD.
