In this paper a new digitally programmable voltage mode fully differential Kerwin-Huelsman-Newcomb(KHN) filter is realized using digitally controlled CMOS fully balanced output transconductor (DCBOTA). The realized filter uses five DCBOTAs, a single resistor and two capacitors. The filter provides low-pass, high-pass and band-pass responses simultaneously. The pole-frequency of all the responses is controlled by externally applying an 8- bit digital control word. All the responses exhibit independent digital control for pole-ω0 and pole-Q. The proposed filter also offers low passive sensitivities. Non-ideal gain and parasitic associated with the actual DCBOTA is also discussed. The CMMR results for low-pass response are also included which highlight the advantage of a fully-differential operation. Exhaustive PSPICE simulation is carried out using 0.5µ technology which may be further scaled to explore state-of-the-art applications of the proposed circuit
