OTA based Biquad ﬁlter is simulated in CADENCE Virtuoso tool. Opamp-RC Biquad ﬁlter oﬀers a bandwidth of 425 kHz, pass band gain of zero DB, whereas Gm-C measuring system based mostly ﬁlter oﬀers 85MHz, passband gain of zero DB. Over-all power dissipation of the Biquad ﬁlter is 4.3mW with 1.8V DC Supply has basing current of 50 m A with gracefully voltage (cid:6) 2.5v. by keeping the supply voltage, bias current and load capacitor as 2.5V, 50 m A and 10pFrespectively, it has been seen that the power is reduced using the CADENCE virtuoso tool.

Introduction
In the current scenario Digital Circuit is more common to use because it is easy to carry and provides lot of feasibility in day-to-day regular life but digital circuit faces two major problems that is define as environmental effect and supply variation of the circuit that is degrade the circuit performance. To reduce that problem som e of the researcher gives the concept of body bias of the MOSFET but due to body bias a leakage current come https://www.indjst.org/ on the picture and provide high power dissipation (1) .
The first commercially available integrated circuit units were produced by RCA in 1969 (before being acquired by General Electric), in the form of the CA3080 (discontinued product) and they have been improved since that time for the designing (2,3) . Although most units are constructed with bipolar transistors, field effect transistor units are also produced. The OTA is not as useful by itself in the vast majority of standard op-amp functions as the ordinary op-amp because its output is a current. One of its principal uses is in implementing electronically controlled applications such as variable frequency oscillators and filters and variable gain amplifier stages which are more difficult to implement with standard op-amps (4) .
Inductorless GHz-band lowpass filters within the literature area unit usually supported RLC reference structures, with the employment of active inductance circuits to substitute the physical inductors. However, implementations supported the Gm-C (5) approach area unit quite common, and filters supported the closed-loop system Sallen-Key (6) and Tow-Thomas Biquad filter (6) topologies have additionally been reportable within the low-GHz vary. closed-loop system filter architectures supported non-conventional active building blocks such as second-generation current conveyors (5) or second-generation voltage conveyors (6) have been additionally exploited at lower frequencies. However, only a few lowpass filter implementations higher than 4 Gc area unit reportable within the literature, and none of them area unit supported closed-loop architectures. In the Biquad filter (7) , a tunable fifth order elliptic Gm-C lowpass filter in a hundred and 70 GHz-fT SiGe BiCMOS with a most information measure of four.1 Gc was reportable, and a third order Gm-C filter with a most information measure of 10 Gc, in 65-nm CMOS was reportable. Filters supported the active inductance approach are given in (6) , that reports a fifth order 4.57-GHz lowpass filter in 180-nm CMOS that describes a 10.5-GHz Biquad in SiGe HBT technology.
On the opposite hand, the ever-increasing frequency performance of advanced bipolar technologies and deep submicron CMOS permits achieving vast gain-bandwidth merchandise, therefore creating it doable to adopt a closed-loop approach for the planning of multi-GHz filters. this enables mistreatment filter style techniques that area unit usually adopted at lower frequencies, each for the topology of the essential filter stage, the Biquad, and for the system style of upper order filters below technology constraints (e.g., limits on the most quality issue which will be achieved) (8,9) . The closed-loop approach offers the benefits of multiplied dimensionality and low sensitivity to active devices variations, because of feedback; the filter characteristics area unit associated with the values of passive elements and/or to their ratios, and will be simply tuned, e.g., by mistreatment varactors. The key differences between the OTA and the conventional op-amp are that the OTA is a current source and the output impedance of this amplifier is high in contrast to the op-amp's very low output impedance. As a result, low output impedance is often a desirable trait in general amplifiers used to drive resistive loads, certain of the newer commercial OTA's have on-chip controlled impedance buffers.
It is possible to design circuits using the OTA that do not employ negative feedback. Instead of employing feedback to reduce the sensitivity of a circuit's performance to device parameters, the Transconductance is treated as a design parameter, much as resistors and capacitors are treated in op-amp based circuits (5) . It is usually used open-loop because the magnitude of the output resistance controls its output voltage and a resistance can be chosen to keep the output from going into saturation, even with high differential input voltage. The output of the OTA is a current signal whereas in a standard operational amplifier the output is a voltage signal (6,7) . OTA symbol can be designed with the help of CADENCE virtuoso tool (5) . In the ideal OTA, the output current is a linear function of the differential input voltage, calculated as follows: Where Vin+ is the voltage at the non-inverting input, Vin− is the voltage at the inverting input and Gm is the transconductance of the amplifier (10,11) . The transconductance of the amplifier is usually controlled by an input amplifier bias current denoted as Iout. The amplifier's transconductance is directly proportional to this current. This is the feature that makes it useful for electronic control of amplifier gain. The proposed circuit obtain by the using of two capacitors more added to the circuit.In this paper we use OTA symbol for designing the schematic of the LPF, HPF, BPF and Universal Biquad Filter circuit.  The transfer function of the LPF can be written as: the response of the LPF by using the various tools can be shown as:  (jw) 2 (jw) 2 + jw (w 0 /Q) + w 0 2 the response of the HPF by using the various tools can be shown as: Proposed response of HPF Circuit using OTA Before designing the BPF by using the OTA first we have designed the schematic of BPF with the help of other tools like ORCAD, CADENCE and MATLAB tool (8) . The circuit schematic of BPF by using the OTA symbol is designed with the help of the CADENCE virtuoso tool.

Conclusions
In this study OTA based filter and its performance has been analyzed using the four different simulation tools (CADENCE Virtuoso, ORCAD, XILINX and MATLAB tool). After designing the OTA circuit, the performance of the OTA based Biquad filter has been analyzed on the ground on power, gain and slew rate. After implementing and analyzing all the filter results in the circuit, it has been observed that power has reduced to 300microwatt in CADENCE which is a lot less that of 150milliwatt using ORCAD tool and 177milliwatt using the XILINX tool. The maximum gain is 70.37DB which is observed using CADENCE virtuoso tool which is increased as 34% with respect to ORCAD and 37% with respect to Xilinx tool. The Slew rate is 46.97V/µs by using the CADENCE virtuoso tool. By analyzing the other parameters, CADENCE is found to be the best tool to design the Biquad filter circuit. One of the key design parameters for any filter is its efficiency. This can be particularly important for battery power equipment where battery life is of importance.The efficiency of the amplifier is essentially the output power divided by the input power.Normally the input power is taken to be the DC power applied to supply the filter.
