    A digitally programmable low-voltage highly linear transconductor (G<inf>m</inf> stage) realization, using a promising CMOS structure of differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) and a R-2R ladder network, is introduced in this paper. Thanks to the efficiency of the DDCC CMOS structure, the transconductor exhibits excellent linearity in a wide range of the input voltage and its transconductance value is digitally programmable by the use of a R-2R ladder network. The CMOS structure of the DDCC is based on the latest bulk-driven quasi-floating-gate technique and hence it is capable to work under low-voltage power supply of ±0.5 V and consumes 36 μW of power. The differential input MOS transistor pairs of the proposed structure are simultaneously driven from bulk and quasi-floating-gate terminals; this leads to an increased value of the voltage gain, bandwidth, and input common-mode voltage range. The last one is the main benefit of this structure in comparison to already existing solutions. The proposed CMOS structure of the DDCC was designed and fabricated using 0.35 μm CMOS AMIS process with total chip area 213 μm × 266 μm. As an application example, a digitally programmable universal filter using three DDCCs and two grounded capacitors is presented.

    Nowadays the necessity of having low-voltage operation and low-power consumption is essential for electronic devices, particularly for portable electronics. Therefore, this paper presents a new ultra-low-voltage CMOS topology for a differential difference current conveyor (DDCC) based on the bulk-driven (BD) principle. Due to the use of the BD technique, the proposed circuit is capable of working with a low supply voltage of ±0.3 V and consumes about 18.6 μW with a wide input common-mode range. The proposed BD-DDCC is suitable for ultra-low-voltage low-power applications. As application examples, a voltage-mode multifunction biquadratic filter based on two BD-DDCCs and four grounded passive elements, and a fourth-order band-pass filter are presented. All passive elements of both applications are grounded, which is advantageous for monolithic integration. Also, the input voltage signals are applied directly to the high input impedance terminals, which is a desirable feature for voltage-mode operation. The simulations were performed with PSPICE using the TSMC 0.18 μm n-well CMOS technology to prove the functionality and attractive results of the proposed circuit. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
