A 1980s filter chip that uses switched capacitors
A detailed teardown examines a 1980s filter chip built on switched-capacitor technology, a design that implemented analog filtering using capacitors and switches rather than resistors. The article explains how the chip worked and why the technique mattered in its era. Enthusiasts of retro silicon and analog circuit design are sharing the deep dive, appreciating the engineering ingenuity of a component largely forgotten today.
Why now: A new technical deep dive into vintage chip design has drawn interest from hardware and retro-engineering communities.
