Calculating Gain in Current Mode Filters: Current Gain vs. Voltage Gain

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating gain in current mode filters, specifically comparing current gain (G=Iout/Iin) to voltage gain (G=Vout/Vin). It emphasizes that while voltage gain is commonly used for voltage filters, the appropriate method for current mode filters is to utilize the current gain formula directly. Participants express uncertainty about whether converting currents to voltages for voltage gain calculations is necessary for accurate simulations.

How to you calculate the gain in a current mode filter (of any current mode circuit in general)

For a voltage filter you have G= Vout/vin

Do you also use the Current gain (G=Iout/Iin) to simulate the behavior of a current mode filter or should you convert the currents to voltages and calculate voltage gain to do so accurately?
