Well, not to directly related to the NS and Maxim but first I recall
that Gene built up such a filter and was quite fired up about
it... (dig the archive). He did it with standard CMOS stuff.

Just in case people doesn't know... but these switched capacitor
filters climb up a diffrent tree than our normal synt filter.
They are more related to digital filters than their analog
counterparts, this also means diffrent response curves.
For the boored people we are talking z-transform instead of LaPlace
transform.

I would consider things like noise, difficult to tweak live etc.

Ground-rule: Don't go outside the circle!

Cheers,
Magnus
