The second generation current conveyor CCII is introduced in this paper as a most versatile analog building block for realization of many other active circuits and applications. Short overview of interesting connections, using modular approach of design, with CCII are presented here, as well as two topologies of the conveyor, realized in CMOS technology, including their measured parameters.

A new CCII-based circuit for the simulation of mutually coupled circuits is presented. The circuit uses six commercially available plus-type secondgeneration current conveyors (CCIIþs), six resistors and two grounded capacitors. The primary self-inductance, the secondary self-inductance and the mutual inductance can be independently controlled using three different resistors. SPICE simulation r...

Two new types of floating current conveyors are introduced. Each type has four ports: Y , X and two Z ports. The first type is the Floating Second Generation Current Conveyor (FCCII) and includes both CCII+ and CCII− as special cases. The second type is the Floating Inverting Second Generation Current Conveyor (FICCII) and includes both ICCII+ and ICCII− as special cases. The Nodal Admittance M...

The digitally controlled current conveyor has been used to realize a novel digitally controlled reconfigurable continuous time voltage mode first order multifunctional filter. The realized filter can provide first order voltage mode low pass, high pass and all pass responses. The pole frequency of the continuous time filter is directly proportional to an n-bit digital control word. The realized...

This paper presents a low power low voltage positive third generation current conveyor using four simple first generation current conveyors.

Its DC, AC and transient analysis is carried out with ELDO tool. Its pre layout and...

An equivalence between a class of (current conveyor) CC II+ and CC IIcircuits is established. CC IIequivalent circuit uses one extra element. However, under certain condition, the extra element can be eliminated. As an illustration of the application of this equivalence, minimal first and second order all-pass filters are derived. In certain cases, it is possible to compensate the effect of the...

In this paper a voltage controlled current conveyor is presented wherein the intrinsic transresistance is controlled by a voltage variable current source which is realized using floatinggate MOSFETs. The resultant conveyor has been used to implement an impedance converter which is further used as inductance simulator. The characteristics of the conveyor and inductance simulation have been obtai...

A generalization method is used to transform a floating resistor oscillator circuit to a family of sixteen grounded capacitor oscillators using the current conveyor (CCII) or the inverting current conveyor (ICCII) or combination of both. Two of the oscillator circuits have a floating property. A new family of sixteen oscillator circuits is generated from the known circuit using the adjoint circ...

Overhead conveyor systems satisfy by their simple construction, wide application range and their full compatibility with other manufacturing systems, which are designed according to international standards. Ultra-light overhead conveyor systems are rope-based conveying systems with individually driven vehicles. The vehicles can move automatically on the rope and this can be realized by energy a...
