In this paper, a capacitor multiplier with good frequency characteristics has been proposed. Effective capacitance of conventional capacitor multiplier decreases as frequency increases due to internal series resistance. On the other hand, the proposed capacitor multiplier using cascode structure has smaller internal resistance, thus shows good frequency characteristics. Conventional and proposed capacitor multiplier were fabricated using Samsung 0.13m CMOS process and frequency characteristics of capacitor multipliers were measured using LPF. Measurement results show that the conventional capacitor multiplier has maximum 53% of capacitance error, however the proposed multiplier has less than 10% of capacitance error for the frequency change from 100kHz to 1MHz.
