The configuration with electronic tunable characteristics that can work in mixed mode may be useful from IC realization viewpoint and application adaptability. This paper proposes an electronically tunable mixed mode universal filter based on multiple output current controlled current conveyor (MOCCCII) and this single topology without any alteration can be used in all four modes i.e., voltage (VM), current (CM), transimpedance (TIM) and transadmittance (TAM). The architecture uses four MOCCCIIs and two grounded capacitors; and can realize universal filter functions — low pass (LP), band pass (BP), high pass (HP), notch (NF) and all pass (AP) for all four modes. Moreover the input impedance is high and output impedance is low for voltage signal and vice-versa for current signal, hence the proposed topology is suitable for cascading for all four modes. The workability of the proposed circuit has been verified via SPICE simulations using AMS 0.35 μm CMOS technology.
