    ; ;
    An active lossy parallel type inductance simulator is proposed in this study. Only a single voltage differencing gain amplifier (VDGA) and a grounded capacitor are used in the proposed design. The realized equivalent resistance (Req) and equivalent inductance (Leq) can be adjusted electronically via the transconductance gain of the VDGA device. The influence of the non-idealities of the VDGA on the realized simulator is examined in detail. The suggested active inductance simulator is used to realize the second order voltage mode highpass filter, which is simulated using the PSPICE simulation program to ensure that it performs as expected.

    This study introduces four novel configurations of first-order and second-order multifunction inverse filters in both voltage-mode (VM) and current-mode (CM) using second-generation voltage conveyors (VCIIs). The first-order VM and CM inverse filters utilize only three passive components together with one VCII for VM and two VCIIs for CM realizations, which can provide lowpass and highpass inverse filter responses. The latter, second-order VM and CM multifunction inverse filters, can be constructed using the corresponding first-order inverse filters as their core circuits. These filters offer all the basic inverse filter functions, including lowpass, bandpass, and highpass inverse responses with all gains obtained from the same design. All the inverse filter realizations are cascadable. No component matching requirements are necessary for all filter responses. The non-ideal effects of the VCII on the performance of the proposed inverse filters are thoroughly examined. To prove the feasibility of the designs, the PSPICE program performed several simulations, utilizing model parameters of 0.18 µm CMOS technology. Some testing experiments were conducted using the commercially available IC-type AD844s for evaluating the practical performance of the designed inverse filters.

    Two-Quadrant Current-Mode Logarithmic and Anti-logarithmic Amplifiers with Temperature Compensation
    This paper proposes circuit topologies for realizing two-quadrant current-mode logarithmic and anti logarithmic amplifier configurations with temperature compensation. The design approach employs the translinear approach to generate the output currents that directly correspond to the absolute values of the logarithmic and anti logarithmic functions. The proposed circuits can operate at a low-level supply voltage of 2V with both input and output current signals. A detailed examination of the non-ideal circuit performance has also been considered. To validate their functionality and illustrate their superior thermal stability, the developed circuits have been simulated. All simulations were conducted via PSPICE for a real bipolar transistor model of the HFA3096 technology.

    ;
    In this paper, a dual-mode biquadratic filter is suggested. The proposed filter employs two Second-Generation Voltage Conveyors (VCIIs) along with four resistors and two capacitors. The suggested filter can realize all five standard biquadratic filter functions such as lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP), highpass (HP), bandstop (BS), and allpass (AP) in both voltage-mode (VM) and current-mode (CM) without needing to modify its circuit structure. The quality factor (Q) and natural angular frequency (ωo) can be accurately and separately controlled through the passive component. It additionally offers the capability of providing the output voltage at the low-output impedance terminal in VM. The effects of the VCII non-idealities on the filter performance have been analyzed in detail. The proposed filter also offers low active and passive sensitivity features. Simulation results achieved with PSPICE software using TSMC CMOS 0.18 μm parameter have been validated and compared with the theoretical findings.

    VDTA-Based Mixed-Mode Inverse Filter and Its Application to Mixed-Mode PID Controller
    (2026-04-01) ; ;
    Faseehuddin, Mohammad
    ;
    This paper presents a novel voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA)-based mixed-mode inverse filter capable of operating in voltage mode, transadmittance mode, transimpedance mode, and current mode using a single topology. The proposed configuration employs only three VDTAs with two resistors and three capacitors, offering low component count, high input/output impedance flexibility, and no requirement for component matching. It simultaneously realizes first-order inverse lowpass and highpass, as well as second-order inverse bandpass responses. A comprehensive non-ideal analysis, which includes the effects of VDTA parasitic impedances, determines the practical operating frequency range. The design is validated through PSPICE simulations using 0.18 μm CMOS technology, showing close alignment between theoretical predictions and simulation results, with cutoff frequencies of approximately 1.60 MHz and low power consumption of 0.972 mW. Further analyses confirm orthogonal tuning capability, acceptable temperature stability, and robustness against component tolerances. In a practical application, the proposed inverse filter is employed to implement a mixed-mode PID controller, which significantly improves transient response characteristics by reducing rise time, settling time, and steady-state error. These findings highlight the effectiveness and versatility of the proposed design for analog signal processing and control system applications.

    This work proposes the active simulation of grounded series and parallel resistive-inductive (RL) and resistive-capacitive (RC) immittance functions employing a single second-generation voltage conveyor (VCII) and three passive components. The two configurations are designed for series RL and RC immittance simulation and RL and parallel RC immittance simulation, respectively. All of the simulated immittance functions can be realized without any specific component matching or cancellation limitations. The proposed series and parallel RL and RC immittance function simulators have been simulated with PSPICE program based on 0.18 µm CMOS process parameters to validate the theoretical study. The first-order inverse filters, biquadratic filter, and synthetic lossless inductor applications, constructed with the proposed simulator circuits, are designed and evaluated to further demonstrate the practical usefulness of the designed simulators.

    Design of Mixed-Mode Analog PID Controller with CFOAs

    ;
    ;
    The design of a mixed-mode proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller circuit using current-feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs) as active components is proposed. With the same circuit topology, the proposed configuration of three CFOAs, four resistors, and two capacitors is capable of performing the PID controller in each of the following four modes: voltage mode, trans-admittance mode, current mode, and trans-impedance mode. Numerous mathematical analyses are conducted to determine the controller’s performance under both ideal and non-ideal conditions. Additionally, the mixed-mode second-order lowpass filter is suggested and also used to examine the workability of the proposed mixed-mode PID controller in a feedback control structure. The proposed PID controller is implemented with the commercially available IC-type CFOA AD844, and the simulation results are presented to illustrate the functionality of the controller and its closed-loop control system. According to the findings, the total power consumption of the proposed PID controller is 0.348 W, with symmetrical supply voltages of ±9 V. It also has a temperature variation of less than 0.2% over the AD844’s usable range. Monte Carlo statistical analysis results revealed that the gain responses of the controller exhibited a deviation of no more than 7.72% from the theoretical value. The controlled filter in a closed-loop control system has a 43% faster rise time and peak time than the uncontrolled filter in all four modes of operation. It also has a steady-state error less than 0.2 mV for voltage responses and 0.72 µA for current responses.

    The continuing reduction of supply voltage for reliable operation of analog integrated circuits is widely recognized. Analog circuits must adhere to this trend. As a result, researchers are currently developing low-voltage analog circuit methodologies. Current-mode signal processing circuits are examples of these concepts. Therefore, the objective of this work is to present circuit realizations of low-voltage current-mode logarithmic and exponential function generators with temperature compensation. Both the input and output signals operate in current mode. The design approach utilizes the current-mode translinear technique to produce the output currents that exhibit a directly proportionality to the absolute values of the logarithmic and exponential functions. By simply adjusting the external bias currents, one can electronically tune the output currents and transfer current gains for both proposed circuits. The proposed circuits utilize only npn bipolar transistors and can operate with low-level supply voltages of ±1 V, which are appropriate for low-power, high-frequency applications. Nonideality performance considerations are also discussed in detail. In order to verify the operational function of the circuits and illustrate their superior thermal stability, the PSPICE simulation has been performed using real transistor models provided for the HFA3096 mixed bipolar array technology. The simulation findings illustrate that the proposed logarithmic and exponential amplifier circuits can compensate for temperature variations, as evidenced by the good stability of their output currents over a temperature range of –40 °C to 100 °C.

    Single VDGA-Based Mixed-Mode Universal Filter and Dual-Mode Quadrature Oscillator
    This article presents the circuit designs for a mixed-mode universal biquadratic filter and a dual-mode quadrature oscillator, both of which use a single voltage differencing gain amplifier (VDGA), one resistor, and two capacitors. The proposed circuit has the following performance characteristics: (i) simultaneous implementation of standard biquadratic filter functions with three inputs and two outputs in all four possible modes, namely, voltage-mode (VM), current-mode (CM), trans-admittance-mode (TAM), and trans-impedance-mode (TIM); (ii) electronic adjustment of the natural angular frequency and independently single-resistance controllable high-quality factor; (iii) performing a dual-mode quadrature oscillator with simultaneous voltage and current output responses; (iv) orthogonal resistive and/or electronic control of the oscillation condition and frequency; (v) employing all grounded passive components in the quadrature oscillator function; and (vi) simpler topology due to the use of a single VDGA. VDGA non-idealities and parasitic elements are also investigated and analyzed in terms of their influence on circuit performance. To prove the study hypotheses, computer simulations with TSMC 0.18 μm CMOS technology and experimental confirmatory testing with off-the-shelf integrated circuits LM13600 have been performed.

    This paper discusses the active-only electronically tunable floating lossless inductance simulator, which uses a single fully balanced-voltage differencing buffered amplifier (FB-VDBA) and one operational amplifier (OA). For this implementation, only integrated circuit packages with no external passive components are utilized. The synthetic equivalent inductance value is electronically adjustable via the transconductance gain of the FB-VDBA. Non-idealities of the active element have produced their effects. Using PSPICE with TSMC 0.25-mum CMOS parameter and the LM741 type OA, the performance of the proposed circuit and its application as a second-order voltage-mode lowpass filter is demonstrated. The numerical simulations closely matched the theoretical results.
