This paper presents a compact current-mode three-input single-output (TISO) type universal filter. Only one voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA) and two grounded capacitors are employed in the proposed filter. The circuit can realize lowpass, bandpass, highpass, bandstop and allpass biquadratic filter outputs by connecting the appropriate inputs, and offers electronic control ...

Performance of sense amplifier has considerable impact on the speed of caches used in microprocessors. The small difference in voltage level of bit lines of memory cell is amplified by sense amplifier. voltage mode sense amplifier reduces the power dissipation during read and increases the speed also. This paper describes voltage mode sense amplifier and current mode sense amplifier and compare...

The novel current-tunable voltage-mode universal biquad filter and sinusoidal quadrature oscillator using only two current-controlled current differencing buffered amplifiers (CCCDBAs) and two capacitors without external passive resistors have been presented. The first proposed filter realizes all the five standard types of the biquadratic functions and provides independent electronic tuning of...

This paper presents a new filter structure based on only single voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA) and three grounded passive elements and has capability to low pass (LP), band pass (BP), high pass (HP), band reject (BR) and all pass (AP) biquad filtering functions at an explicit current output by the use of appropriate selection of three current input signals. Hence, it is ...

A new output structure for class E power amplifier (PA) is proposed in this paper. A series LC resonator circuit, tuned near the second harmonic of the operating frequency is added to the output circuit. This resonator causes low impedance at the second harmonic. The output circuit is designed to shape the switch voltage of the class E amplifier and lower the voltage stress of the transistor. T...

This paper proposes a low voltage (±0.55V supply voltage) low power (44.65µW) high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) differential amplifier (d.a.) with rail to rail input common mode range (ICMR), constant transconductance (gm) and enhanced frequency performance. Its high performance is obtained using a simple negative averaging method so that it cancels out the common mode input signals at th...

The impact of high-voltage-high-frequency (HVHF) amplifiers on echo-signal quality is greater with very-high-frequency (VHF, ≥100 MHz) ultrasound transducers than with low-frequency (LF, ≤15 MHz) ultrasound transducers. Hence, the bias voltage of an HVHF amplifier must be stabilized to ensure stable echo-signal amplitudes. We propose a bias-voltage stabilizer circuit to maintain stable DC volta...

In this paper an analytic approach to estimate the nonlinearity of radix-4 pipelined analog-to-digital converters due to the circuit non-idealities is presented. Output voltage of each stage is modeled as sum of the ideal output voltage and non-ideal output voltage (error voltage), in which non-ideal output voltage is created by capacitor mismatch, comparator offset, input offset, and finite ga...

In this paper, a novel circuit realizing the square rooting function in current-mode is presented. The circuit makes use of a recently proposed active building block (ABB), namely the current controlled current differencing transconductance amplifier (CCCDTA). The circuit offers the following advantages: (i) a complete current-mode circuit makes it suitable for current-mode signal processing ap...
