This paper presents the synthesis of fully deferential circuit that is capable of performing simultaneous high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filtering in the log domain. The circuit utilizes modified Seevinck’s integrators in the current mode. The transfer function describing the filter is first presented in the form of a canonical signal flow graph through applying Mason’s gain formula. The resulting signal flow graph consists of summing points and pick-off points associated with current mode integrators within unity-gain negative feedback loops. The summing points and the pick-off points are then synthesized as simple nodes and current mirrors, respectively. A new fully differential current-mode integrator circuit is proposed to realize the integration operation. The proposed integrator uses grounded capacitors with no resistors and can be adjusted to work as either lossless or lossy integrator via tuneable current sources. The gain and the cutoff frequency of the integrator are adjustable via biasing currents. Detailed design and simulation results of an example of a 5th order filter circuit is presented. The proposed circuit can perform simultaneously 5th order low-pass filtering, 5th order high-pass filtering, and 4th order band-pass filtering. The simulation is performed using Pspice with practical Infineon BFP649 BJT model. Simulation results show good matching with the target.

The paper introduces a new versatile universal biquadratic configuration based on two fully differential second generation current conveyors without need of input matching conditions. The proposed circuit consists of two fully differential second generation current conveyors, four resistors and two grounded capacitors. The proposed biquad configuration provides all five standard filtering responses: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-reject and all-pass in voltage-mode, transadmittance-mode, current-mode and transimpedance-mode. The proposed circuit is single-input multiple-outputs type, so all responses are available simultaneously. Moreover, extra inverting amplifier and double-type amplifier are also not required in the proposed circuit for any filtering response. The nonideal and parasitic effects of fully differential second generation current conveyor on the proposed circuit have also been investigated. HSPICE simulation results have been incorporated to validate the proposal.

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.

Some time back, Kircay reported an electronically-tunable current-mode square-root-domain first-order filter capable of realizing low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP) and all-pass (AP) filter functions. When simulated in SPICE, Kircay’s circuit has been found to exhibit DC offsets in case of LP and AP responses and incorrect transient response in case of HP response. In this paper, an improved circuit overcoming these difficulties/deficiencies has been suggested and its workability of the improved circuit as well as its capability in meeting the intended objectives has been demonstrated by SPICE simulation results.

A new resistorless single-input-multi-output (SIMO) universal transadmittance (TA) type filter employing two voltage differencing transconductance amplifiers (VDTA) and two grounded capacitors is proposed. The proposed topology realizes simultaneously low pass (LP), high pass (HP), and band pass (BP) filter functions. Band rejects (BR) and all pass (AP) filters are also realizable through appropriate connections of currents. The proposed configuration also offers independent control of natural angular frequency (ω0) and bandwidth (BW) and low active and passive sensitivities. The workability of proposed configuration has been demonstrated through PSPICE simulations with TSMC CMOS 0.18 μm process parameters.

In this paper, a new voltage-mode (VM) multifunctional filter comprising two second-generation current conveyors (CCIIs) is proposed. The proposed filter with one input and three outputs is also composed of three resistors and two grounded capacitors. The proposed filter has high input impedance; thus, it can be easily connected with other VM circuits. The proposed filter can simultaneously provide low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP) and high-pass (HP) responses. A number of time domain and frequency domain simulation results are included to confirm the claimed theory.

The design of low-pass and bandpass filters is often based on the leapfrog method which, in these cases, yields integrator-based structures. Using the leapfrog signal flow graph (SFG) for the simulation of high-pass filters leads to a differentiator-based structure which could be implemented by Gm-C or CCII conveniently. However, when we use Op amp RC integrators for good linearity, we have to use integrators, and not differentiators, for reasons related to the excessive noise behavior of the latter. This paper presents a new leapfrog SFG implementation by fully differential Op amp integrators, which combines good high-frequency properties with good noise properties. The direct SFG simulation method and single-ended output Op amp can also based on integrators, but all of them will lead to a relatively high circuit complexity and a high noise level. A design example is included, with comparisons of gain responses and noise densities.

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.

In this paper, a new active current-mode (CM) minimal component, cascaded current differencing unit (CCDU) and a CM nth-order filter based on the CCDU have been presented. The proposed CCDU simplifies the design of the CM nth-order filter circuit considerably. The proposed nth-order circuit, which adopts only an active component and n grounded capacitors, can simultaneously realize low-pass (LP), band-pass (BP) and high-pass (HP) filter responses. It enjoys the simple configuration and is suitable for integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. PSPICE simulations and experimental tests for CM third-order filter based on this structure have also been conducted and the results have good agreement with the theoretical analysis.
