A current mirror (CM) based on self cascode arrangement, useful for low voltage analog and mixed mode circuit is proposed. The CM uses 4 MOSFETs, has high input and output swing, operating at ± 0.5 V supply. Pspice simulations confirm the high performance of this CM having a bandwidth of 2.1 GHz. Resistive and capacitive compensations result in about threefold bandwidth increase to 6.1 GHz.

In this paper, an architecture designed for electrical measurement of the quality factor of MEMS resonators is proposed. An estimation of the measurement performance is made using PSPICE simulations taking into account the component's non-idealities. An error on the measured Q value of only several percent is achievable, at a small integration cost, for sufficiently high quality factor values (...

The turn-off switching characteristics and breakdown voltage of both punch-through (PT) and non-punchthrough (NPT) IGBTs are examined over a temperature range of -125 to 100 °C. A physics-based PSpice model, incorporating much of the device behavior, is also described. Results from the model are compared to experimental waveforms and good agreement is found. *

Abstract: A simple topology for the realization of negative type differential difference current conveyor (DDCC-) is presented. The proposed topology is based on floating output transconductor (FOT) circuits. A CMOS realization of this type current conveyor, which is made up from floating current sources (FCS), is given. Design details and simulation results using PSPICE are given to verify pre...

Precision rectifiers are important building blocks for analog signal processing. The traditional approach based on diodes and operational amplifiers (OpAmps) exhibits undesirable effects caused by limited OpAmp slew rate and diode commutations. In the paper, a full-wave rectifier based on one CDTA and two Schottky diodes is presented. The PSpice simulation results are included.

The paper is dealing with some electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems of converters and inverters, which are utilized for feeding of electric machines and its analyzing by PSPICE program. The main attention is focused on implications of parasitic capacitance and capacitive coupling existence.

A simple electronic system exhibiting hyperchaotic behaviour is described. The system includes two nonlinearly coupled 2nd order unstable oscillators, each composed of an LC resonance loop and an amplifier. The system is investigated by means of numerical integration of appropriate differential equations, PSPICE simulations and hardware experiments. The Lyapunov exponents are presented to confi...

This paper presents a new second order multifunction filter using one active element, requiring only ‘twelve’ CMOS transistors, and four passive elements. The proposed circuit realizes voltage-mode low-pass, high-pass and band-pass functions with the advantages of minimum component count structure, high Q possibility, and high frequency potential. The proposed circuit is verified through PSPICE...

The paper describes an unusual approach of employing the SPICE-family circuit simulation programs in a simple analysis of digital filters, including the quantization effects.
