Voltage Differencing Current Conveyor Differential Input Transconductance Amplifier: Novel Active Element and Its Resistorless Filtering Application

Abstract

This paper introduces novel modification of active element based on current conveyor transconductance amplifier core abbreviated as current controlled voltage differencing current conveyor differential input transconductance amplifier (CC-VDCCDITA). The active element is implemented by recently developed and manufactured IC modular device based on I3T25 0.35 um ON Semiconductor CMOS process. Active element uses three internal active cells of this IC device for construction of the CC-VDCCDITA. An application example of proposed element in simple special resistor-less electronically adjustable biquadratic filter is shown. Brief comparison with state-of-the-art solutions indicates beneficial features of proposed solution. Simulation results in Cadence IC tool accompany precise laboratory experimental measurements with real prototype.
