A new circuit topology realizing a first-order currentmode all-pass filter is proposed using two dual-output second generation current conveyor and two passive components. The circuit possesses low-input and high-output impedance, which makes it ideal for current-mode systems. The proposed circuit is verified through PSPICE simulation results. Keywords—active filter, all-pass filter, current-mo...

This work presents the design of CMOS Combined Reference Circuit with Supply and Temperature compensation using 0.18 μm UMC technology. It consists of a start-up circuit, a current generator, and a voltage generator. Many current reference and voltage reference circuits have been reported. The references are used individually for generating fixed value of current or voltage for the particular u...

Increase in power generation capacity of electric power systems has lead to increase in the fault current level which can exceed the maximum designed short-circuit ratings of the switchgear. All the equipment therefore must have a short-circuit rating capable to withstand this level. Short-circuit currents contain extremely high energy and can damage electrical equipment. Typically, the circuit...

An ultra-low-leakage power-rail ESD clamp circuit, composed of the SCR device and new ESD detection circuit, has been proposed with consideration of gate current to reduce the standby leakage current. By controlling the gate current of the devices in the ESD detection circuit under a specified bias condition, the whole power-rail ESD clamp circuit can achieve an ultra-low standby leakage curren...

This paper describes the study of a simple two-branch current reference where the sum of branch currents (that is, the total current) is compensated with temperature. This approach is the most adequate when the reference must supply current in a charge with grounded or connected to voltage-supply end. The second-order thermal compensation of the reference current is analyzed here. The equation ...

This paper includes the study of a known very simple reference current source, having two branches, where the temperature-compensation of the sum of branch currents (the total current) is done. This kind of approach is adequate when the reference must supply current in a charge with grounded or connected to voltage supply end. The first-order thermal compensation of the reference current is ana...

The proposed Schmitt trigger circuit is designed at a supply voltage of ±1.25V, bias voltage of -0.8V using PSPICE and the model parameter o...

In the field of analog VLSI design, current conveyors have reasonably established their identity as an important circuit design element. In the literature published during the past few years, numerous application have been reported which are based on a variety of current conveyors. In this paper, an oscillator circuit has been proposed. This oscillator is designed using a single positive type s...
