Switched Capacitor Channel Select Filter

Hi all,
just wondering, is there any major reason why we wouldn't use a switched capacitor filter for a channel-select filter for a direct-conversion receiver? Suppose the filter needs to work with a signal as low as -80 dBm.
thanks,
Aaron

The reason is that there are alternatives with better efficiency.
For inband noise/power dominated designs the cap size is equal in continuous-time and switch cap filters.
But the sampling frequency should be a factor higher than the maximum rejection frequency. Otherwise rejection is limited by alias. Second to have an accurate frequency response the caps should charged within a fraction of the sampling period. The need much more current again. If you compare the required bias current of continuous versus discrete filter opamps there is a big factor.
That rules out switch cap!
