    Boosting the Quality Factor of the Shadow Bandpass Filter
    (2022-09-30)
    Buakaew, Seangrawee

    This paper proposes a new method to increase the quality factor of the shadow bandpass filter. The proposed circuit topology is simple, with the use of conventional biquad cell along with external amplifiers. The major advantageous feature is that the quality factor of the filter is boosted up whereas the gain of the external amplifier is significantly reduced. Moreover, the presented idea can be applied to the shadow filter in both current and voltage modes. The proposed scheme is justified via circuit performance. The performance is compared with the previous research works in the same arena. The results show that a feedback signal and a properly chosen gain incredibly boost up the quality factor of the shadow bandpass filter. Simulations by PSpice using 0.18-μm CMOS-level parameters confirm the validity of the proposed work.

    This paper introduces a new resistorless mixedmode proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. It employs six simple transconductors and only two grounded capacitors. The proposed PID controller offers several advantageous features of resistorless configuration, use of grounded capacitors, independent electronic-tuning characteristic of its parameters, and mixed-mode operation such as current, transimpedance, transadmittance, and voltage modes. The parasitic element effects of the transconductors on the proposed controller are investigated and the improved low-frequency performance of the proposed controller is then discussed. As applications, the proposed controller is demonstrated on two closed-loop systems. The PSPICE simulations with TSMC 0.18μm CMOS process and ±0.9 V supply voltage verify the theoretical analysis.

    A miniature tunable quadrature shadow oscillator with orthogonal control
    (2023-10-01)

    This article presents a new design of a quadrature shadow oscillator. The oscillator is realized using one input and two outputs of a second-order filter cell together with external amplifiers in a feedback configuration. The oscillation characteristics are controlled via the external gain without disturbing the internal filter cell, following the concept of the shadow oscillator. The proposed circuit configuration is simple with a small component-count. It consists of, two voltage-different transconductance amplifiers (VDTAs) along with a couple of passive elements. The frequency of oscillation (FO) and the condition of oscillation (CO) are controlled orthogonally via the dc bias current and external gain. Moreover, with the addition of the external gain, the frequency range of oscillation can be further extended. The proposed work is verified by computer simulation with the use of 180 nm complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) model parameters. The simulation gives satisfactory results of two sinusoidal output signals in quadrature with some small total harmonic distortions (THD). In addition, a circuit experiment is performed using the commercial operational transconductance amplifiers LM13700 as the active components. The circuit experiment also demonstrates satisfactory outcome which confirms the validity of the proposed circuit.

    This paper presents a new architecture to detect the frequency and amplitude of sinusoidal signals. The proposed architecture employs merely differentiators and analog computational units to gain an accurate and instantaneous response. The detected output of the frequency measuring module is linear with frequencies and insensitive to the peak amplitude of the input signal, and vice versa. Moreover, the sensitivity (gain) of frequency detection module and that of amplitude detection module are orthogonally adjusted. The simulation results are then given to verify the theoretical analyses. The results also include various set of simulation aiming to give substantive measures of satisfactory performance of the proposed method. © 2010 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
