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. It is designed and simulated in a standard 0.18um TSMC 1P, 6M CMOS process. This current conveyor design with the help of design architect and IC station (mentor graphics). Its DC, AC and transient analysis is carried out with ELDO tool. Its pre layout and...

Operational amplifiers are important building blocks for analog circuit design. Unfortunately, their limited performance such as bandwidth, slew-rate etc. leads the analog designer to search other possibilites and other building blocks. As a result, new current-mode active building blocks such as operational transconductance amplifiers (OTA), second generation current conveyors (CCII), current-...

This paper presents a second order voltage mode quadrature sinusoidal oscillator using a recently reported active building block, namely the differential voltage current controlled conveyor transconductance amplifier. The circuit proposed here employs single differential voltage current controlled conveyor transconductance amplifier, two grounded resistors and two grounded capacitors. The use o...

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...

The paper discusses systematic realization of second-order sinusoidal oscillators using multiple-output second-generation current controlled conveyor (MO-CCCII) and/or its inverting equivalent, namely the multiple-output inverting second-generation current controlled conveyor (MO-ICCCII) by state variable method. State variable method is a powerful technique and has been used extensively in the...

This research paper contains a new electronically tunable current-mode biquadratic universal filter using a new active building block; current controlled differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCDDCCTA). The proposed filter provides the following important and desirable features: (i) One can use only one CCDDCCTA and two capacitors; (ii) One can get low pass (LP), ...

This paper presents a universal current-controlled current-mode biquad filter employing current controlled current conveyor trans-conductance amplifiers (CCCCTAs). The proposed filter employs only three MOCCCCTAs and two grounded capacitors. The proposed filter can simultaneously realize low pass (LP), band pass (BP), high pass (HP), band reject (BR) and all pass (AP) responses in current form ...
