It is introduced a new genetic algorithm to synthesize the negative-type second generation current conveyor (CCII-) by superimposing a voltage follower (VF) with a current follower (CF). First, the VF and CF are described by binary genes. Second, the gene CF is inverted, rigth-shifted and multiplied (AND operation) with the gene VF to verify that both genes can be superimposed to synthesize the...

Overhead conveyor systems are in use in many installations around the world, meeting the widest range of applications possible. Overhead conveyor systems are particularly preferred in automotive industry but also at post offices. Overhead conveyor systems must always be integrated with a logistical process by finding the best way for a cheaper material flow in order to guarantee precise and fas...

The paper presents a current conveyor based multifunction filter. The proposed circuit can be realized as low pass, high pass, band pass and elliptical notch filter.

The proposed CCIIhas no on-...

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 new sinusoidal oscillator configuration using two second generation current conveyors (CCIIs) is introduced which requires only two grounded capacitors and two resistors. The proposed structure enjoys independent frequency control through grounded resistor. The circuit is extended to electronic tunability regime by replacing CCIIs with second generation current controlled conveyors (CCCIIs). ...
