Generation of Grounded capacitor ICCII-Based Band-Pass Filters

A new current-mode band-pass filter using the inverting second-generation current conveyor (ICCII) is introduced. The circuit is generated from a frequency-dependent negative resistance (FDNR)-C circuit realized using ICCII+. It is observed that a voltagemode band-pass filter using two CCII+ has similar transfer function to this current-mode filter. The adjoint network theorem is used to demonstrate the transformation between the two circuits. Two new voltage-mode grounded capacitor band-pass filters using two ICCII are also introduced. The first voltage-mode circuit is generated from the FDNR-C circuit and employs two opposite Z polarity ICCII. The second voltage-mode circuit is obtained from the first circuit by relocation of the input and a grounded terminal. Two new additional grounded capacitor and grounded resistor current-mode band-pass filters with independent control on the filter Q are also introduced. Spice simulation results with 0.35 μm CMOS transistors model are included to demonstrate the practicality of the two ICCII− band-pass current-mode filter.
