This paper presents a universal voltage-mode filter and quadrature oscillator based on low-voltage multiple-input differential difference transconductance amplifier (MI-DDTA). Unlike the previous published DDTAs, that utilize the bulk-driven (BD) multiple-input MOS transistor technique (MI-MOST) in the differential pair of the first stage only, the proposed DDTA, for the first time, utilize the BD MI-MOST in the second stage of the DDTA. This results in capability of providing more arithmetic operations without additional current branches or power dissipation. Hence, simplify the topology of the filter and oscillator applications, by decreasing the count of active blocks. The voltage-mode filter offers high-input and low-output impedances, and both non-inverting and inverting versions of five types of transfer functions, namely low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop, and all-pass characteristics. The oscillator offers three-phase of quadrature signals, and orthogonal control of the condition and frequency of oscillations. The circuit was designed in Cadence environment using 180 nm CMOS TSMC technology. The voltage supply is 0.5 V and the power consumption of the filter is 472 nW. The simulation results are in accordance with theory and confirm the performance of the proposed circuit.

This paper presents the extremely low-voltage supply of the CMOS structure of a differential difference transconductance amplifier (DDTA). With a 0.3-volt supply voltage, the circuit offers rail-to-rail operational capability. The circuit is designed for low-frequency biomedical and sensor applications, and it consumes 357.4 nW of power. Based on two DDTAs and two grounded capacitors, a voltage-mode universal filter and quadrature oscillator are presented as applications. The universal filter possesses high-input impedance and electronic tuning ability of the natural frequency in the range of tens up to hundreds of Hz. The total harmonic distortion (THD) for the band-pass filter was 0.5% for 100 mV<inf>pp</inf> @ 84.47 Hz input voltage. The slight modification of the filter yields a quadrature oscillator. The condition and the frequency of oscillation are orthogonally controllable. The frequency of oscillation can also be controlled electronically. The THD for a 67 Hz oscillation frequency was around 1.2%. The circuit is designed and simulated in a Cadence environment using 130 nm CMOS technology from United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC). The simulation results confirm the performance of the designed circuits.

This paper presents a new electronically tunable universal filter and quadrature oscillator for low frequency biomedical and biosensor applications employing low-voltage differential difference transconductance amplifier (DDTA). The DDTA CMOS structure uses 0.5 V of supply voltage and consumes 277 nW of power. Unlike the previous universal filters, the proposed filter provides many transfer functions of the standard five transfer functions such as low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop and all-pass with both unity and controlled voltage gains as well as both inverting and non-inverting transfer functions. The natural frequency and the voltage gain of the five standard transfer functions can be controlled electronically. For the band-pass filter, the third intermodulation distortion (IMD3) was 0.37% for 20 mVpp input signal while the output integrated noise was 61.37 μV. The dynamic range (DR) was 53.27 dB for 1% IMD3. The quadrature oscillator has electronically and orthogonal control of the condition and frequency of oscillation. The proposed circuit and its applications were designed and verified via Cadence simulator tool using 0.13 μm UMC CMOS technology. Further, the circuit was evaluated by PSPICE simulation and experiment test using commercial OTA LM13700.

This paper presents a new multiple-input single -output voltage-mode universal biquad filter based on multiple-input operational transconductance amplifiers (MI-OTA). This work demonstrates that the multiple-input OTA-based universal filter can provide more filtering responses and other benefits, compared to conventional OTA-based one. The filter provides electronic and orthogonal control of the natural frequency and the quality factor. Furthermore, a two-phase quadrature oscillator can be obtained by slightly modifying the proposed universal filter while the condition and frequency of oscillation can be controlled orthogonally and electronically. The performance of the proposed circuit is evaluated in Cadence environment using the TSMC $0.18~\mu \text{m}$ CMOS technology. The voltage supply is 1.2 V and the power dissipation of the MI-OTA is $24~\mu \text{W}$. For 1% third intermodulation distortion (IMD3) the dynamic range of the band-pass filter is 78.6 dB. In addition, the proposed filter and oscillator are investigated through experiment tests using LM13700 commercially available OTA.
