In this paper two new first order filter topologies realizing low-pass/all-pass (LP/AP) and low-pass/high-pass (LP/HP) outputs using electronically controllable second generation voltage conveyors (CVCIIs) are presented. Unlike second generation voltage conveyors (VCII), in CVCII each performance parameter, including ports, parasitic impedances, current and/or voltage gains can be electronically varied. Here, in particular, the proposed filter topologies are based on two CVCIIs, one resistor and one capacitor. In the first topology VLP/IAP/VAP and in the second topology ILP/VLP/IHP/VHP outputs are achievable, respectively. However, the current and voltage outputs are not achievable simultaneously and a floating capacitor is used. A control current (Icon) is used to change the first CVCII Y port impedance, which sets the filter −3 dB frequency (F0) of all the outputs. Moreover, in the second topology, the gains of HP and AP outputs are electronically adjusted by means of a control voltage (Vcon). Favorably, no restricting matching condition is necessary. PSpice simulations using 0.18 µm CMOS technology and supply voltages of ±0.9V show that by changing Icon from 0.5 µA to 50 µA, F0 is varied from 89 kHz to 1 MHz. Similarly, for a Vcon variation from −0.9 V to 0.185 V, the gains of IAP and IHP vary from 30 dB to 0 dB and those of VAP and VHP vary from 100 dB to 20 dB. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is about 8%. The power consumption is from 0.385 mW to 1.057 mW.

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.

This paper presents an electronically tunable current-mode first-order universal filter. The proposed circuit employs only a single Extra-X Current-Controlled Conveyor (EX-CCCII) and a single grounded capacitor, which is suitable for IC implementation. The circuit can realize three current transfer functions simultaneously, namely low-pass, high-pass and all-pass. The proposed circuit exhibits low-input and high-output impedance, which is suitable for cascading. The pole frequency of the filter can be electronically tuned, by varying the bias current of EX-CCCII. The nonidealities and parasitic effects on the circuit performance are investigated in detail. Also, the Monte Carlo analysis is done to show the effect of active and passive element mismatches on the pole frequency. An eight-phase current-mode sinusoidal oscillator and current-mode second-order filter are further realized using the proposed circuit. The functionality of the proposed circuits is verified through PSPICE simulations, using 0.25-[Formula: see text]m TSMC CMOS technology parameters.

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.

This study aims to design an electronically tunable voltage-mode (VM) universal filter utilizing commercially available LT1228 integrated circuits (ICs) with three-input and single-output (TISO) configuration. With the procedure based on two integrator loop filtering structures, the proposed filter consists of two LT1228s, four resistors, and two grounded capacitors. It realizes five filter output responses: low-pass, all-pass, band-reject, band-pass, and high-pass functions. By selecting input voltage signals, each output responses can be achieved without changing the circuit architecture. The natural angular frequency can be controlled electronically. The input voltage nodes Vin1 and Vin3 possess high impedance. The output node has low impedance, so it can be cascaded to other circuits. The performance of the proposed filter is corroborated by PSpice simulation and hardware implementation which support the theoretical assumptions. The result shows that the range of total harmonic distortion (THD) is lower than 1%, and that the higher the temperature is, the lower the natural angular frequency is.

In this paper, a new first-order current-mode (CM) universal filter employing two dual output second-generation current conveyors (DO-CCIIs), one resistor and a grounded capacitor is proposed. The proposed filter has low input and high output impedances; thus, it can be easily connected with other CM circuits. It can simultaneously realize first-order low-pass (LP) and all-pass (AP) responses and can provide high-pass (HP) response with interconnection of LP and AP responses. It can be tuned electronically by replacing with dual output second-generation current controlled conveyors (DO-CCCIIs) instead of DO-CCIIs and removing the resistor. It has only a resistor but no capacitor connected in series to X terminal of DO-CCII; accordingly, it can be operated at high frequencies. Also, it does not need any critical passive component matching conditions and cancellation constraints. A number of simulation results based on SPICE program are included to exhibit performance, workability and effectiveness of the proposed filter configuration.

In this research contribution, the electronically tunable first-order universal filter employing a single voltage differencing differential input buffered amplifier (VD-DIBA) (constructed from two commercially available integrated circuit (IC): the operational transconductance amplifier, IC number LT1228, and the differential voltage input buffer, IC number AD830), one capacitor and two resistors. The features of the designed first order universal filter are as follows. Three voltage-mode first-order functions, low-pass (LP), all-pass (AP) and high-pass (HP) responses are given. The natural frequency (𝜔0) of the presented configuration can be electronically adjusted by setting the DC bias current. Moreover, the voltage gain of the LP and HP filters can be controllable. The phase responses of an AP configuration can be varied from 00 to −1800 and 1800 to 00. The power supply voltages were set at ±5 𝑉. Verification of the theoretically described performances of the introduced electronically tunable universal filter was proved by the PSpice simulation and experiment.

In this paper, a floating inductance and frequency-dependent negative resistance (FDNR) depending on the passive element selection is presented. The proposed circuit employs only plus-type second-generation current conveyors (CCII+s) as active elements, together with two resistors and two capacitors for realizing floating inductance and FDNR. Both of the capacitors in the floating inductance realization are grounded. Also, electronically tunable floating FDNR is obtained with the proposed circuit. The nonideality effects of the current conveyors on the proposed circuit are given. The proposed circuit is used in a low-pass ladder filter, and simulated with SPICE to exhibit its performance.

A new dual-input differential input active integrator using a current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA) is proposed. A multiplier element is appropriately used in the circuit whose control voltage (Vc) tunes the integrator time constant (τ) electronically. The design of a voltage controlled quadrature oscillator (VCQO) based on the proposed integrator had been satisfactorily implemented. A new type of measurement for the tuning error of the oscillator based on the Nyquist plot is presented that shows an error of only 2% atfo≈1 MHz with Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) less than 3%.

This paper presents resistorless realization of inverse filters using voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA). First, four topologies are proposed which provide inverse low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject responses. Subsequently, a unified inverse filter is also derived by incorporating two switches in the combination of proposed inverse low-pass and inverse band-pass topologies. This topology is capable of providing inverse low-pass, inverse high-pass, inverse band-pass, and inverse band-reject responses by appropriate switch settings. The proposed inverse filter structures are electronically tunable and use only grounded capacitors. The behavior of the proposed filters is also investigated for nonidealities. To verify the functionality of the proposed inverse filter circuits, SPICE simulation is carried out using 0.18-[Formula: see text]m CMOS technology parameters from TSMC. The effect of deviation in the active and passive component values on angular frequency is tested through Monte Carlo simulation.
