A Sallen-Key filter requires an operational amplifier with a large input impedance and a small output impedance to meet the external filter characteristics. The operational amplifier requires an internal feedback path for stability that limits performance. This invention eliminates the need for internal feedback and increases the gain of a source follower which has characteristics matching the operational amplifier in the Sallen-Key filter. The source follower provides 6 dB of AC voltage gain and is substituted for the operational amplifier in the Sallen-Key filter. The Sallen-Key filter requires a differential configuration to generate all the required signals with their compliments and uses these signals in a feed forward path. Furthermore, since the source follower uses only two n-channel stacked devices, the headroom voltage is maximized to several hundred millivolts for a 1.2V voltage supply in a 40 nm CMOS technology. Thus, the required 880 MHz bandwidth of the Sallen-Key filter can be easily met using the innovative source follower.
