A current-mode universal biquadratic filter with three input terminals and one output terminal is presented. The architecture uses two current conveyors (CCs), two grounded capacitors and two grounded resistors; and can realize all standard second-order filter functions — highpass, bandpass, lowpass, notch and allpass. Moreover, the circuit still offers the following advantage features: very low active and passive sensitivities, using of grounded capacitors and resistors which is ideal for integrated circuit implementation, without requirements for critical component matching conditions and very high output impedance. The workability of the proposed circuit has been verified via HSPICE simulations using TSMC 0.18 μm, level 49 MOSFET technology.

A Current

A Current-Mode (CM) TransImpedance Amplifier (TIA) based on Second Generation Current Conveyors (CCIIs) for capacitive microsensor measurements is presented. The designed electronic interface performs a capacitance-to-voltage conversion using 3 CCIIs and 3 resistors exploiting a synchronous-demodulation technique to improve the overall detection sensitivity and resolution of the system. A CM-TIA solution designed at transistor level in AMS0.35 µm integrated CMOS technology with a power consumption lower than 900 µW is proposed. Experimental results obtained with a board-level prototype show linear behavior of the proposed interface circuit with a resolution up to 34.5 fF and a sensitivity up to 223 mV/nF, confirming the theoretical expectations.

Component Matching

A new voltage-mode biquad with four inputs and four outputs using only two differential difference current conveyors (DDCCs), two grounded capacitors, and two resistors is proposed. The proposed circuit can act as a multifunction voltage-mode filter with one or three inputs and four outputs and can perform simultaneous realization of voltage-mode notch, highpass, bandpass, and lowpass filter signals from the four output terminals, respectively, without any component choice conditions. On the other hand, it also can act as a universal voltage-mode filter with four inputs and a single output and can realize five generic voltage-mode filter signals from the same configuration without any component-matching conditions. Finally, to verify our architecture, we have designed this analog filter chip with TSMC 0.35 μm 2P4M CMOS technology. This chip operates to 1.125 MHz and consumes 30.95 mW. The chip area of the analog filter is about 0.822 mm2.

Improved Performance

The improved performance in precision signal rectification that is now available through the use of current conveyors is outlined in this paper. Such current-steering techniques can also be adapted to produce novel ring- and chopper-modulators with promising intercept performance.
