Filter Configuration

This paper presents a novel mixed mode universal filter configuration capable of working in voltage and transimpedance mode. The proposed single filter configuration can be reconfigured digitally to realize all the five second order filter functions (types) at single output port. Other salient features of proposed configuration include independently programmable filter parameters, full cascadability, and low sensitivity figure. However, all these features are provided at the cost of quite large number of active elements. It needs three digitally programmable current feedback amplifiers and three digitally programmable current conveyors. Use of six active elements is justified by introducing three additional reduced hardware mixed mode universal filter configurations and its comparison with reported filters.

This paper proposes a multi-input single-output (MISO) second-order active-C voltage mode (VM) universal filter using two second-generation current-controlled current conveyors (CCCIIs) and two equal-valued capacitors. The proposed circuit realizes low pass, band pass, high pass, all pass, and notch responses from the same topology. The filter uses-minimum number of passive components and no resistor which is suitable for IC Design. The filter enjoys low-sensitivity performance and exhibits electronic and orthogonal tunability of pole frequency () and quality factor () via bias current of CCCIIs. PSPICE simulation results confirm the theory.

Analytical Synthesis

A fully cascadable (i.e., low/high input impedance for current/voltage input signals and high/low output impedance for current/voltage output signals) mixed-mode (input and output signals can be voltage or current) universal filter biquad by using three differential difference current conveyors (DDCCs), three grounded resistors, and two grounded capacitors is presented in this paper. The proposed biquad can realize the inverting, non-inverting, and differential types universal filtering responses (lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, and allpass) from the voltage and current output terminals without changing the filter topology. The proposed circuit is suitable for cascading in all the four possible modes (i.e., voltage, current, transresistance, and transconductance modes). Moreover, the proposed mixed-mode biquad still enjoys (i) using only grounded passive components, (ii) no need of extra inverting and non-inverting amplifiers for special input signals, and (iii) low active and passive sensitivities. This paper also shows how analytical synthesis can be used to produce the proposed mixed-mode filter circuit. H-Spice simulation results confirm the theory.

A fully programmable second-order universal filter with independently controllable characteristics is presented in this paper. The proposed filter is based on a new ± 0.75 V second-generation current conveyor with digitally programmable current gain. The input stage of the current conveyor is realized using two complementary MOS differential pairs to ensure rail-to-rail operation. The output stage consists of a Class-AB CMOS push-pull network, which guarantees high current driving capability with a 47.2 μA standby current. The digital programmability of the current conveyor, based on transistor arrays and MOS switches, provides variable current gain using a digital code-word. Two approaches for implementing current conveyors with programmable current gain either greater or less than one are described. The fully programmable universal filter and the proposed digitally programmable current conveyor circuits are simulated using PSPICE with 0.25 μm CMOS technology from MOSIS.

Current Feedback Operational Amplifier

A five-port general-purpose analog building block, termed as an Operational Floating Current Conveyor (OFCC), is described. The OFCC combines the features of current feedback operational amplifier, second-generation current conveyor and operational floating conveyor. An implementation scheme of the OFCC is described and its terminal operational characteristics are used to yield a working device. The OFCC is then used as a single block to realize the current conveyors (CCII+ and CCII-) as well as the four basic amplifiers (i.e., voltage, current, transconductance, and transresistance amplifiers). The applications of the OFCC are presented and discussed. In the field of the analog filter synthesis, we proposed a new active universal second order filter using OFCC. It has three inputs and one output employing two OFCC, two capacitors and three resistors and can realize lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch, and all pass filters from the same configuration. The proposed universal filters offer the following advantageous features: using active elements for the same type (OFCC). No requirement for component matching or cancellation constraints, which makes the filter easier to design, orthogonal adjustment of ω0 and Q and the circuits have low sensitivity. The simulation and experimental results are obtained and discussed.

In this paper, a new grounded inductor simulator employing two current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs), three resistors and one grounded capacitor which is suitable for IC fabrication is proposed. Also, a new voltage-mode (VM) universal filter with three input and single output is given as application example of the grounded inductor simulator. The universal filter with low output impedance can be easily cascaded with other VM circuits. Both of the proposed circuits have the feature of improved low frequency performances, and can be easily constructed by two commercially available active devices such as AD844s. However, both inductor simulator and universal filter need a single passive component matching condition. Simulation and experimental test results are given to demonstrate the performance and workability of the proposed grounded inductor simulator and filter structure.

Electronically Tunable

A recently developed active building block, namely Voltage Differencing Extra X Current Conveyor (VD-EXCCII), is employed in the design of multi input single output (MISO), electronically tunable mixed-mode universal filter. The filter provides low pass (LP), high pass (HP), band pass (BP), band reject (BR) and all pass (AP) responses in current-mode (CM), voltage-mode (VM), trans-impedance-mode (TIM) and trans-admittance-mode (TAM). The filter employs a single VD-EXCCII, three resistors and two capacitors. Additionally, a CM single input multi output (SIMO) filter can be derived from the same circuit topology by only adding current output terminals. The attractive features of the filter include: (i) the ability to operate in all four modes, (ii) the tunability of the Q factor independent of pole frequency, (iii) the low output impedance for the VM filter, (iv) the high output impedance current output for CM and TAM filters and (v) no requirement for double/negative input signals (voltage/current) for response realization. The VD-EXCCII and its layout is designed and validated in Cadence Virtuoso using 0.18 µm pdk from Silterra Malaysia with a supply voltage of ±1.25 V. The operation of the filter is examined at the 8.0844 MHz characteristic frequency. A non-ideal parasitic and sensitivity analysis is also carried out to study the effect of process and components spread on the filter performance.
