We propose a novel adaptation of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) Technique for the resolution of analog sizing optimization problems. The paper details the proposed algorithm and highlights its performances using some mathematical test functions. This novel adaptation of the ACO technique is used for the optimal design of analog circuits, namely, a differential pair current conveyor and an in...

A second order voltage mode tunable universal filter is presented. The voltage mode filter is based on dual output second generation current controlled current conveyor (DOCCCII). The filter is capable of realizing high pass (HP), low pass (LP), band pass (BP), notch pass (NP) and all pass (AP) responses in voltage mode (VM). The filter employs only two capacitors and hence enjoys minimum compo...

A current to voltage lowpass filter using a single CCII is proposed. This filter can absorb all finite CCII resistances and capacitances and offer both non-inverting and inverting output. Convenient compensation methods exist for gain inaccuracy and excess phase effects. The sensitivities are also very low. The filter is particularly useful for data converting and sampled-data filtering systems...

In this work, we present new topologies for realizing one lossless grounded inductor and two floating, one lossless and one lossy, inductors employing a single differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) and a minimum number of passive components, two resistors, and one grounded capacitor. The floating inductors are based on ordinary dual-output differential difference current conveyor (DO-...

The tradition of implementing analogue circuits by means of voltage amplifiers is almost as old as the concept of electronic circuit design. The integrated electronic circuit, however, is a relatively new concept. Furthermore, integrated electronic circuits have significantly different limitations and strengths to the conventional discrete electronic circuits have. Since the active devices in i...
