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...

Current conveyors are unity gain analog building block having high linearity, wide dynamic range and provide higher gain-bandwidth product. The current conveyors operate at low voltage supplies and consume less power. It has high input impedance, low output impedance and unity current gain (Iz/Ix=±1) as well as unity voltage gain (Vx/Vy=1). The working principle of Current Conveyors is very sim...

An accurate, wide output swing, low voltage charge pump is proposed. It is based on a second generation current conveyor which is used to equate charging and discharging currents. A low voltage enhanced current mirror ensures matching between nominal and output currents and current steering is used to minimize charge sharing. Simulation results characterize performance of the proposed circuit.

A CMOS inverting type second generation current conveyor ‘positive’ (ICCII+) is presented which is based on voltage and current mirror circuits.
