A new current conveyor block, called a balanced-output third generation inverting current conveyor (ICCIII+−), is introduced in this paper. A novel CMOS realization for this block is proposed. To show the strength of this block, many applications are given, such as integrators, filters, and an oscillator. The proposed ICCIII+− and the presented applications are tested with SPICE simulations usi...

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...

This paper presents a novel CMOS differential voltage current conveyor based on a wide linear range transconductor with common mode detection. The differential voltage current conveyor exhibits a wide dynamic input range of ±0.9V. It is used to realize an instrumentation amplifier, a multiple input single output filter, and a single input multiple output universal filter. PSPICE simulations of ...

The realization of the second-order universal (low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, band-reject, and all-pass) active current filter using a single second-generation current controlled conveyor (CCCII), two grounded capacitors, and one resistor is proposed in this paper. Three input signals and the bias current of the active element determine the filtering type of the output signals. H-Spice simulat...

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 circuit employs two balanced output current conveyors, four resistors and two grounded capacitors, ideal for integration. It has only one output terminal and the number of input terminals may be used. Further, there is no requi...

This paper presents a negative type secondgeneration current conveyor (CCII-). It is based on an inverter-based low-voltage error amplifier, and a negative current mirror. The CCIIcould be operated in a very low supply voltage such as ±0.5 V. The proposed CCIIhas wide input voltage range (±0.24 V), wide output voltage (±0.24 V) and wide output current range (±24 mA). The proposed CCIIhas no on-...

We consider the movement minimization problem in a conveyor flow shop processing controlled by one worker for all machines. A machine can only execute tasks if the worker is present. Each machine can serve as a bu¤er. The objective is to minimize the total number of movements of the worker for the processing of all jobs. Such minimization problems usually appear in conveyor controlled manufactu...

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). ...
