This paper presents fifteen distinct practical realizations for dual-X second generation current conveyor (DXCCII) using commercially available integrated circuits. Detailed comparisons and results are presented to verify the utility of proposed realizations. The catalog of proposed realizations is a first attempt and is expected to be useful for testing newly developed circuits based on dual-X...

A multi-output second generation current conveyor (MOCCII), that can be used to realized first, second and third generations current conveyors, is proposed. The MOCCII consists of a CMOS differential stage for the voltage input, push-pull stage and the improved cascode current mirrors for the current output. Feedback techniques are proposed in order to provide a voltage gain of 0.991, a current...

This paper presents a fully-integrated NEMS resonator together with a compact built-in CMOS interfacing circuitry. The proposed low-power CCII circuit allows measuring the mechanical frequency response of the nanocantilever structure in the MHz range. Detailed experimental results at different DC biasing conditions and pressure levels are presented for a real mixed electro-mechanical system int...

In this paper, a solution is presented for a robotic manipulation problem in industrial settings. The problem is sensing objects on a conveyor belt, identifying the target, planning and tracking an interception trajectory between end effector and the target. Such a problem could be formulated as combining object recognition, tracking and interception. For this purpose, we integrated a vision sy...

Conveyor based assembly production lines were first introduced by Ford H. in the 19th Century, in a need for responding to the increasing market capacity then. Today, many challenges are imposed by conveyor lines including unbalanced station workloads, line inflexibility in coping with changes in demand. This paper describes the implementation of discrete event simulation in the improvement of ...

A single input and three outputs voltage-mode biquadratic filter using three plus-type second-generation current conveyors (CCII), two grounded capacitors and five resistors is presented. The proposed circuit offers the following features: realization of three filter functions, which are, lowpass, bandpass and notch filters, simultaneously, the use of only grounded capacitors. PSPICE simulation...

Abstract A new configuration for realizing high input impedance voltagemode biquadratic filters with two inputs and one output is presented. The proposed configuration uses two second generation current conveyors (CCII’s) of different polarity, two resistors, and two capacitors. The present configuration is capable of realizing band pass (BP), all pass (AP), and notch filter functions. The circ...

This paper describes the architecture of first and second generation current conveyor (CCI and CCII respectively) and designing an amplifier using second generation current conveyor. The designed amplifier through CCII+ can be used in various analog computation circuits and is superior in performance than the classical opamp. It provides better gain with higher accuracy.

Three novel differential precision rectifier circuits are realized using single CMOS differential voltage current conveyor. One of the realized differential precision rectifiers provides half wave voltage output. The other two circuits give full wave voltage outputs. Among the two full wave differential precision rectifiers, one circuit provides single ended voltage output while other full wave...

This paper proposes two first-order all-pass filters using DDCCs as active elements, one resistor and one capacitor. Both proposed filters have two DDCCs, one grounded resistor and one grounded capacitor. Thus the two topologies are having minimum number of components and there is no need for matching constraints on passive components. The performance of the proposed circuits is examined using ...
