The maximum and minimum gains (with respect to frequency) of third-order low-pass and high-pass filters are derived without using calculus. Our method uses the little known fact that extrema of cubic functions can easily be found by purely algebraic means. PSpice simulations are provided that verify the theoretical results.

In this paper, an architecture designed for electrical measurement of the quality factor of MEMS resonators is proposed. An estimation of the measurement performance is made using PSPICE simulations taking into account the component's non-idealities. An error on the measured Q value of only several percent is achievable, at a small integration cost, for sufficiently high quality factor values (...

Abstract: A three-phase to single-phase matrix converter is investigated in the present paper. Based on the state matrix vector, a mathematical analysis of the converter is performed giving the relation between the sinusoidal line voltage (current) and the output voltage (current). The results of the investigation are confirmed using computer simulation of the converter by the program product C...

In this paper, we present the analytical expression of phase-controlled class-D inverter at any duty ratio. By considering the body-diode of MOSFET effects and harmonic components of resonant current, analytical expression of phase-controlled class-D inverter at any phase shift and any duty ratio can be obtained. The validity of the analytical expression was confirmed by PSpice simulation.

This article presents a realization of a recently basic building block for analog signal processing, namely fully differential operation transconductance amplifier (FD-OTA) using the commercially available ICs (LT1228). The proposed element has very simple internal instruction. The performances are examined through PSpice simulations. The description include example as biquadratic filter topolo...

A novel current-mode first-order all-pass filter with low input and high output impedance feature is presented. The circuit realization employs a single dual-X-second-generation current conveyor, one grounded capacitor, and one grounded resistor, which is a minimum component realization. The theoretical results are verified using PSPICE simulation program with TSMC 0.35 μm CMOS process parameters.

A new MOS-C bandpass-low-pass filter using the current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA) is presented. The filter employs two CFOA’s, eight MOS transistors operating in the nonsaturation region, and two grounded capacitors. The proposed MOS-C filter has the advantage of independent control of Q and !o. PSpice simulation results for the proposed filter are given.
