    Biquad filters are commonly used in analog circuits for various purposes in signal processing and communication applications. We synthesize an analog active biquad filter with five types of voltage-mode filtering functions. The filter is synthesized using a parallel passive resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) network and unity-gain voltage differencing amplifier. A voltage differencing differential input buffered amplifier (VD-DIBA) is the main active component, and the biquad filter has a three-input single-output (TISO) topology. By replacing the passive inductor and resistor with VD-DIBA-based inductance and resistance simulators with a subtractor, the TISO voltage-mode versatile filter is obtained from two VD-DIBAs, one resistor, and two capacitors connected to the ground. The proposed filter can provide five types of voltage-mode filtering functions: inverting bandpass and lowpass responses as well as noninverting band-stop, high-pass, and all-pass responses. The all-pass filter requires no additional active components. The three input voltage nodes have high impedance, and a low-impedance output voltage node facilitates cascade connections without using additional voltage buffers. In addition, the natural frequency and quality factor can be electronically tuned. The quality factor is controlled without disturbing the passband gain and natural frequency. The proposed filter is simulated and verified experimentally in the Personal Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (PSPICE) and through laboratory tests employing VD-DIBAs implemented using commercially available components.

    In this contribution, the design and analysis of an active multifunction biquad filter that provides five voltage-mode filtering configurations in the same core filtering circuit are presented. The design emphasizes using the commercially available ICs, LT1228, which are easy for off-the-shelf implementation and cheaper compared with the chip implementation. The proposed multifunction filter is realized from two commercial LT1228 ICs as the active function block, combined with five passive elements (three resistors and two capacitors) with three input voltage nodes and a single output voltage node. The following advantages are given for this design: (i) it provides high-pass (HP), low-pass (LP), band-stop (BS), band-pass (BP), and all-pass (AP) filtering functions; (ii) orthogonal and electronic tuning of the natural frequency ω0 and bandwidth (the quality factor: Q); (iii) output voltage node of the proposed circuit is low impedance; (iv) passband voltage gain is controllable; and (v) matching condition and extra double gain voltage-mode amplifier are not required. The effect of the parasitic element in LT1228 on the filter performance is analyzed and included to strengthen the design idea. The PSpice simulation results using LT1228 with ±5 V and the experimental results tested from the hardware implementation are given to prove the validity of the designed multifunction filter.

    Single-input multiple-output voltage-mode shadow filter based on VDDDAs
    This paper presents a voltage-mode shadow filter with single-input multiple-output (SIMO) configuration using voltage differencing differential difference amplifiers (VDDDAs). In this design, the low-pass and high-pass output functions of the single-input three-output second order filter are feedback via the voltage amplifier. The proposed filter consists of three VDDDAs, one grounded resistor and two grounded passive elements. The proposed filter uses grounded elements which is attractive for integrated circuit (IC) fabrication. It can simultaneously provide low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP), band-pass (BP), band-reject (BR) and all-pass (AP) responses without matching condition. The proposed circuit has high input impedance. The natural frequency (ω <inf>0</inf> ) and quality factor (Q) can be independently and electronically tuned by changing the external DC bias currents. The effect of the non-ideal and parasitic elements of the VDDDA is studied and investigated. The PSpice simulation and experimental results using CMOS technology and commercially available active devices are given to confirm the workability of the proposed filter.

    In this paper, a new versatile voltage mode first order filter using low-voltage low-power bulk-driven OTAs is presented. The proposed filter with two high impedance input-voltage nodes and single output-voltage node consists of two OTAs, one grounded capacitor and one grounded resistor. Three filtering responses, low-pass (LP), high-pass (HP) and all-pass (AP) are obtained by appropriately applying the input signal into the input nodes. The natural frequency (ω<inf>0</inf>) can be electronically tuned by the bias current. In case of all-pass filter, its phase response is electronically controlled by adjusting only single bias current. With this feature, it doesn't need to simultaneously change two bias currents or two passive element values. The performances of the proposed filter were evaluated via PSPICE simulations using CMOS 0.18 μm TSMC technology parameters (level 7) with ±0.4 V supply voltages. The proposed filter consumes 47.2 μW. To obtain the actual testing results, the proposed filter was also experimented using commercially available IC, LM13700. Moreover, the three phases sinusoidal oscillator based on proposed first order high-pass filter was designed and investigated by PSPICE simulation and experiment.

    A capacitance multiplier is an active circuit designed specifically to increase the capacitance of a passive capacitor to a significantly higher capacitance level. In this paper, the use of a voltage differencing differential difference amplifier (VDDDA), an electronically controllable active device for designing grounded and floating capacitance multipliers, is proposed. The capacitance multipliers proposed in this study are extremely simple and consist of a VDDDA, a resistor, and a capacitor. The multiplication factor (Kc) can be electronically controlled by adjusting the external bias current (IB). It offers an easy way of controlling it by utilizing a microcontroller for modern analog signal processing systems. The multiplication factor has the potential to be adjusted to a value that is either less than or greater than one, hence widening the variety of uses. The grounded capacitance multiplier can be easily transformed into a floating one by utilizing Zc-VDDDA. PSpice simulation and experimentation with a VDDDA realized from commercially available integrated circuits were used to test the performance of the proposed capacitance multipliers. The multiplication factor is electronically adjustable, ranging in approximation from 0.56 to 13.94. The operating frequency range is approximately three frequency decades. The realization of the lagging and leading phase shifters using the proposed capacitance multiplier is also examined and proven. The results reveal that the lagging and leading phase shifts are electronically tuned via the multiplication factor of the proposed capacitance multipliers.
