Realization of fractional-order double-scroll chaotic system using Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) as active elements are presented in this paper. The fractional-order double-scroll chaotic system has been studied before as well using passive RC-ladder and tree-based structures but in this paper the requisite fractional-order integration has been accomplished through an integer-order multiple-feedback topology. As compared to double or multiple scroll chaotic systems existing in the open literature, the proposed realization offers the advantages of (a) low-voltage implementation, (b) integrablity as the design is resistor- and inductor-less and only grounded components have been employed in the design, and, (c) electronic tunability of the fractional order, time-constants and gain factors. In order to demonstrate the usefulness of the chaotic system, a simple secure message communication system has been designed and verified for its operation. The theoretical predictions of the proposed implementations have been verified by using 0.35[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process file provided by Austrian Micro System (AMS).
