Presented work deals with applications of the single [Formula: see text]-copy controlled-gain voltage differencing current conveyor (ZC-CG-VDCC) in single purpose and multifunctional biquadratic voltage- and current-mode active resistor-less filters. Electronically adjustable features of the active device (intrinsic current input resistance [Formula: see text], current gain [Formula: see text] and transconductance [Formula: see text]) are controlled by DC bias current. These mentioned adjustable features allow interesting possibilities of control of the pole frequency and quality factor. Four voltage-mode solutions realizing low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and band-reject filtering solutions were designed together with two current-mode filters. The current-mode solutions have curious multifunctional capability based on full utilization of electronically controllable parameters of the ZC-CG-VDCC. Two adjustable parameters of the ZC-CG-VDCC (intrinsic current input resistance and transconductance) are used for electronic setting of features of the filter (pole frequency, quality factor, tuning). Control of the third adjustable parameter (current gain) causes reconnection-less change of the transfer function between iAP (inverting all-pass response) and iBR (inverting band-reject responses). Simulation results in PSPICE and Cadence CDS 6 are used to show characteristics of the proposed circuits.

This paper presents new programmable universal biquadratic filters using current conveyor transconductance amplifiers (CCTAs) by which both voltage- and current-mode filters can be obtained. The proposed filters use second-generation current conveyor (CCII) which is the first stage of CCTA to operate as current conveyor analog switch (CCAS) and this CCAS will be used to program the filtering functions such as low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop and all-pass filters. Unlike previous universal filters, the filtering functions of the proposed filters can be programmed using the bias currents of CCTAs without changing any input and output connections. The natural frequency and quality factor of all filtering functions can be controlled electronically and orthogonally using the bias currents of transconductance amplifiers. Also gain response of all transfer functions can be adjusted. The active and passive sensitivities of the filters are low. The proposed programmable filters have been simulated using 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS process from TSMC. PSPICE simulation results are included to confirm workability of the proposed circuits.

The objective of this study is to present four new universal biquad filters, two voltage-mode multi-input-single-output (MISO), and two current-mode single-input-multi-output (SIMO). The filters employ one voltage differencing current conveyor (VDCC) as an active element and two capacitors along with two resistors as passive elements. All the five filter responses, i.e., high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, band-stop, and all-pass responses, are obtained from the same circuit topology. Moreover, the pole frequency and quality factor are independently tunable. Additionally, they do not require any double/inverted input signals for response realization. Furthermore, they enjoy low active and passive sensitivities. Various regular analyses support the design ideas. The functionality of the presented filters are tested by PSPICE simulations using TSMC 0.18 µm technology parameters with ± 0.9 V supply voltage. The circuits are also justified experimentally by creating the VDCC block using commercially available OPA860 ICs. The experimental and simulation results agree well with the theoretically predicted results.

In this paper, a universal current-mode second-order active-C filter for simultaneously realizing low-pass, band-pass and high-pass responses is proposed. The presented filter employs only three plus-type second-generation current-controlled conveyors (CCCII+s). This filter needs no critical active and passive component matching conditions and no additional active and passive elements for realizing high output impedance low-pass, band-pass and high-pass characteristics. The angular resonance frequency (ω0) and quality factor (Q) of the proposed resistorless filter can be tuned electronically. To verify the theoretical analysis and to exhibit the performance of the proposed filter, it is simulated with SPICE program.

In this paper, electronically-tunable, current-mode biquad is proposed by using multiple-output operational transconductance amplifiers (MO-OTAs). The proposed circuit has one input and two outputs. Without changing the circuit topology, low-pass (LP), and band-pass (BP) responses can be realized. The filter is realized by using two MO-OTAs, a single-output OTA (SO-OTA), a two-output OTA and two grounded capacitors. The biquad is designed based on first-order LP filter or lossy integrator blocks. The feedback block is applied to the filter circuit in order to obtain high quality factor values greater than 1/2. The center frequency and the quality factor of the LP and BP filters can be electronically tuned by DC current of OTAs. The total power dissipation of the proposed biquad is approximately 10[Formula: see text]mW at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]V supplied voltage. The theoretical analysis is also confirmed with SPICE simulations.

A proposal of a fractional ([Formula: see text])-order low-pass filter is presented in this paper. The proposed filter operates in the current-mode and it is designed using Multi-Output Current Followers (MO-CFs), Dual-Output Current Follower (DO-CF), Dual-Output Adjustable Current Amplifier (DO-ACA) and Adjustable Current Amplifiers (ACAs) as active elements within the presented topology of the filter. The filter possesses ability to electronically control its order and also the pole frequency by changing the current gain of current amplifiers (ACAs) already present in the structure. Three different values of the order and pole frequency of the proposed low-pass filter were tested as an example. Design of the proposed filter is supported by simulation and experimental results. Simulations of the circuit are carried out in PSPICE simulator with behavioral models of used active elements. The experimental laboratory measurements are performed with the help of available devices forming equivalent circuits. Simulations and experimental results of the electronical control of the order and pole frequency are compared in this contribution.

This paper presents a new current-mode universal filter with one-input three-output employing three translinear current conveyors and two grounded capacitors. The proposed filter provides low-pass, band-pass, high-pass current response with high output impedance output which can be directly connected for current-mode circuit. The band-pass and all-pass filters can also be obtained. The parameters wo and Q can be controlled separately and electronically by the bias currents of current conveyors. For realizing all filtering functions, no passive and active matching conditions are required. The active and passive sensitivities are low. The characteristic of the proposed circuit can be confirmed by SPICE simulations.

This paper presents an analysis of a reconstruction filter in a switched mode power amplifier system. Doubly and singly terminated filters for current-mode class-S power amplifiers were analyzed previously through analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches, and it was shown that only singly terminated filters can fulfill the requirements of current-mode switching amplifiers, owing to their constant input resistance over the pass-band. In this paper potential effects of the parasitic components in the actual filters and the filter termination are evaluated. The simulation and measurement results of current mode class-S power amplifier systems employing GaN HEMT MMICs are presented and critically analyzed.
