The definition of the current conveyor is presented and it is shown how different generations of current conveyors can all be combined into a single definition of a multiple-output second generation current conveyor (CCII). Next, noise sources are introduced into the model, and a general noise model for the current conveyor is established. This model is used for the analysis of selected example...

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...

Advancement in VLSI technology has led to larger number of components on a single chip making it a reality to realise portable systems. Analog circuits are important in every VLSI systems such as filters, current and voltage amplifiers, comparators, A/D and D/A converters, etc. Miniaturization in circuit design requires lowpower low-voltage (LPLV) analog integrated circuits to be designed. Anal...

A novel four-input three-output voltage-mode differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) based universal filter is presented. The circuit uses three DDCCs as active elements, two resistors and two capacitors as passive elements. The circuit along with its versatility enjoys the advantage of minimum number of passive elements employment. SPICE simulation results are given to confirm the theo...

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.

A new terminology (order, kind, class) and the classification and definition of multi-port current conveyors are given. The generalized current conveyor is defined as a tool for synthesis. Several autonomous circuits containing multi-port conveyors are presented. The design of ARC oscillators and second-order filters based on the given autonomous networks is described in this paper.

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.

Composites of wind speeds, equivalent potential temperature, mean sea level pressure, vertical velocity, and relative humidity have been produced for the 100 most intense extratropical cyclones in the Northern Hemisphere winter for the 40-yr ECMWF Re-Analysis (ERA-40) and the high resolution global environment model (HiGEM). Features of conceptual models of cyclone structure—the warm conveyor b...

Current conveyors are unity gain active elements exhibiting high linearity, wide dynamic range and high frequency performance than their voltage mode counterparts. The new current conveyor operating at low-voltage supplies high input impedance and low output impedance and consumes less power. In this study, a new low-voltage class AB second generation current conveyor (AB CCII) is presented whi...
