    An electronically tunable universal filter configuration which employs a single new active device namely current follower transconductance amplifier (CFTA) and four passive components is described. The presented circuit can be configured to realize all the five standard biquadratic filter functions; lowpass, bandpass, highpass, bandstop and allpass, without changing the circuit configuration. The filter also provides the advantage features of the use of only one active component and minimum number of passive components, and independent electronic tuning of the natural angular frequency(ω <inf>o</inf>) and bandwidth (BW), as well as low active and passive sensitivities.

    In this paper, a variety of cascadable current-mode filter architectures incorporating current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs) and grounded passive elements are realized. The proposed filter topologies mainly contain the CDTA-based cascaded filter structure and the current feedback loop, which provides a systematic and structural method for realizing general filtering functions. They are convenient for integration, electronically tunable, easy cascadability, of low sensitivity, simple in structure and easy to design. Design examples and simulation results by PSPICE confirm the usefulness of the proposed approach.

    The current-controlled current-mode universal filter with two inputs and three outputs using current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs) as active components is presented. The proposed circuit configuration consisting of only three CDTAs and two grounded capacitors exhibits low-input and high-output impedances, which is advantageous from an integration point of view and is important for easy cascading in the current-mode operations. By properly connecting the input and output terminals, the filter can simultaneously realize all the standard filter functions, namely lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP), highpass (HP), bandstop (BS) and allpass (AP), without any component matching conditions. The natural angular frequency (ω<inf>o</inf>) and the bandwidth (ω<inf>o</inf>/Q) of the proposed filters can be electronically controlled, thanks to the tunability properties of the CDTAs. All the passive and active sensitivities are low. SPICE simulation results are included to confirm the theory. ©2007 IEEE.

    Surakampontorn, Wanlop
    In this paper, a possible realization of a current differencing buffered amplifier (CDBA) in the low-voltage operation is proposed. A leapfrog simulation of the current-mode ladder network using the CDBA as active circuit building blocks is then introduced. In order to demonstrate that the CDBA considerably simplifies the leapfrog structure of the current-mode ladder filters, a fifth-order Butterworth low-pass filter and a sixth-order Chebyshev bandpass filter which require a minimum of active components will be presented. PSPICE simulation results are employed to verify the correctness of the realization procedure.

    A current-controlled multiple-input single-output current-mode universal filter employing current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs) as active elements is described. The proposed circuit offers the following attractive features: employment the minimum number of active and passive components; simultaneous realization of all the standard filtering functions; independent current-control of the parameters ω<inf>0</inf> and ω<inf>0</inf>/Q; no requirement of component matching conditions; employment of only two grounded passive capacitors which is suitable for integrated circuit (IC) implementation; and low passive and active sensitivities. ©2006 IEEE.

    Simple current-mode analog multiplier, divider, square-rooter and squarer based on CDTAs

    Surakampontorn, Wanlop
    In this paper, the design of simple analog current-mode multiplier, divider, square-rooter and squarer circuits using only two current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs) is proposed. With the selection of the applied input currents, the proposed circuit can perform four-quadrant current multiplication, division and current-controlled current amplification, without changing its configuration. Moreover, the current-mode square-rooter and squarer circuits can easily be obtained with the possibility of electronically transfer gain adjustment by slight modification of the proposed configuration. All the proposed circuits are insensitive to ambient temperature variations. Additionally, the CDTA non-ideality effects on the proposed circuits are also investigated and discussed. The performances of the realized circuits are examined by PSPICE simulations. © 2010 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

    Single-resistance-controlled quadrature oscillator and universal biquad filter using CFOAs
    (2009-12-01) ;
    Surakampontorn, Wanlop
    This paper presents new single-resistance-controlled (SRC) sinusoidal quadrature oscillator and universal biquad filter circuits with reduced number of passive elements using only two current-feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs). The first proposed oscillator configuration comprising two CFOAs, three resistors and two capacitors provides two sinusoidal voltage outputs in phase quadrature. The circuit has the advantage of independent control of the condition of oscillation and the oscillation frequency through a single resistor. The second proposed biquad filter configuration consisting of only two CFOAs, two resistors and two capacitors realizes all the standard types of the biquadratic filter functions at low-impedance output without any component matching conditions. The filter also provides orthogonal control of the natural angular frequency (ω<inf>0</inf>) and the bandwidth (BW). In addition, both proposed circuit configurations have good active and passive sensitivity performances. PSPICE simulations and experimental results based on commercially available AD844-type CFOAs are included, showing the excellent performance of the proposed configurations. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

    A simple circuit design technique for the realization of compact low-voltage low-power CMOS four-quadrant analog current multiplier circuit has been suggested. It is based on the use of the square-law characteristic in the NMOS current squaring function circuit operating in the saturation region. The suggested four-quadrant current multiplier circuit is designed for implementing in TSMC 0.25-μm CMOS technology with a low supply voltage of ±0.75V. To evaluate the circuit performance, the circuit has been simulated by PSPICE program. The simulation results show that the circuit has a linearity error of about 1%, a THD of 1.07% at 100 kHz, the total power consumption of 87.6 μW and -3dB bandwidth of 1.32 GHz.
