In the present paper, very simple voltage-mode instrumentation amplifier (IA) and integrator structures including only grounded passive components yielding easy integration are proposed. The proposed IA and integrator use single differential difference current conveyor. The proposed IA without requiring critical passive component matching conditions can be constructed with only two small-valued...

A novel current conveyor, which can be used for realization of current conveyors of different forms, is presented. The proposed current conveyors are capable of operating at supply of & 1.0 V with rail-to-rail input and output voltage swings. The proposed structure operates as linear circuit element and has a bandwidth of 60 MHz for 1.2 pm CMOS technology. The circuit has many applications and ...

This work shows the experimental implementation of a chaotic communication system based on two Chua’s oscillators which are synchronized by Hamiltonian forms and observer approach. The chaotic communication scheme is realized by using the commercially available positive-type second generation current conveyor (CCII+), which is included into the AD844 device. As a result, experimental measuremen...

A survey of the technical literature reveals that synthesis of Current Mode (CM) oscillators using single active building block (ABB) requires an additional identical or complementary current terminal to sense and take out the current output. The topologies of these oscillators are essentially based on the current mode approach. They use a Voltage Controlled Voltage Source (VCVS) and two curren...

This paper is a tutorial introduction to field-programmable analog arrays, as well as a review of existing field-programmable analog array architectures, of both educational and industrial origin. Circuit issues relevant to the development of high-bandwidth FPAAs are presented. A current conveyor-based architecture, which promises to achieve video bandwidths, is described. Test results are pres...

Field Programmable Mixed-Signal Arrays (FPAA) designs are reviewed and standard building blocks described with respect to circuit parameters and design limitations. The second-generation current conveyor is introduced as an analog building block with properties similar to those of an operational amplifier, and which has the potential for high frequency operation. A current conveyor can be imple...
