This paper presents a low power continuous time 2 nd order Low Pass Butterworth filter operating at power supply of 0.5V suitably designed for biomedical applications. A 3-dB bandwidth of 100 Hz using technology node of 0.18μm is achieved. The operational transconductance amplifier is a significant building block in continuous time filter design. To achieve necessary voltage headroom a pseudo-differential architecture is used to design bulk driven transconductor. In contrast, to the gate-driven OTA bulk-driven have the ability to operate over a wide input range. The output common mode voltage of the transconductor is set by a Common Mode Feedback (CMFB) circuit. The simulation results show that the filter has a peak-to-peak signal swing of 150mV (differential) for 1% THD, a dynamic range of 74.62 dB and consumes a total power of 0.225μW when operating at a supply voltage of 0.5V. The Figure of Merit (FOM) achieved by the filter is 0.055 fJ, lowest among similar low-voltage filters found in the literature.
