A new high performance second-generation CMOS current conveyor architecture is presented. It is built using a differential flipped voltage follower as its input buffer stage and a cascode current mirror as output stage. It is characterized by very low output impedance. It provides gain independent high bandwidth when used to implement a programmable gain voltage amplifier. Simulation and experi...

This study proposes a novel square/triangular wave generator based on a dual outputs differential voltage current conveyor (DO-DVCC). The proposed circuit uses one DO-DVCC combined with three grounded passive components. The presented scheme reveals a compact topology and can produce square/triangular waveform simultaneously. To verify their feasibility, commercially available ICs were used for...

A new voltage-mode triple-input single-output multifunction filter using only two current conveyors is presented. The proposed filter which possesses three inputs and single-output can generate all biquadratic filtering functions at the output terminal by selecting different input signal combinations. The validity of the proposed filter is verified through PSPICE simulations. Keywords—Active Fi...

A new terminology (order, kind, class) and the classification and definition of multi-port current conveyors are given. The generalized current conveyor is defined as a tool for synthesis.

A novel four-input three-output voltage-mode differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) based universal filter is presented. The circuit uses three DDCCs as active elements, two resistors and two capacitors as passive elements. The circuit along with its versatility enjoys the advantage of minimum number of passive elements employment. SPICE simulation results are given to confirm the theo...

Current mode circuits like current conveyors are getting significant attention in current analog ICs design due to their higher band-width, greater linearity, larger dynamic range, simpler circuitry, lower power consumption and less chip area. The second generation current controlled conveyor (CCCII) has the advantage of electronic adjustability over the CCII i.e. in CCCII; adjustment of the X-...
