چکیده
This paper proposes a circuit configuration for the realization of a four-terminal floating nullor (FTFN) with electronically tunable current gain. It mainly consists of an op amp in input together with two complementary current mirrors with controlled gain and two standard improved Wilson current mirrors. The validity of the performance of the scheme is verified through PSPICE simulation results. Some example applications in the design of the proposed tunable FTFN as a tunable active element show that the circuit properties can be varied by electronic means are also included.

Voltage Mode-to-Current Mode Transformation
Abstract— This paper proposes a procedure for converting a class of Op Amp-, FTFN-, CCand CFAbased voltage mode circuits to corresponding current mode circuits without requiring any additional circuit elements and finally from Op Amp-based voltage mode circuits to any of the FTFN, CC and CFA current mode circuits. The latter circuits perform better at high frequency than the former ones. The va...

متن کاملA Power Efficient Gain Enhancing Technique for Current Mirror
This work introduces a new and simple method for adjusting the gain of current mirror. The major advantage of the proposed architecture is that, unlike the conventional variable gain current mirror, it does not need the change of the biasing current to adjust current gain. Therefore, the power dissipation remains constant in all of the gain settings. In addition, the proposed variable gain curr...

متن کاملDesign of Multilphase Sinusoidal Oscillator Based on FTFN
A new multiphase sinusoidal oscillator is presented. The circuit realization uses the four-terminal floating nullor(FTFN)to generate arbitrary n current sinusoidal signals equally spaced in phase. The proposed circuit consists of n CCCIIs, n grounded capacitors and 2n grounded resistors. The oscillation condition and oscillation frequency are independently controlled. The former depends on the ...
