DV-EXCCCII Based Resistor-Less Current-Mode Universal Biquadratic Filter
This study aims to present a new resistor-less current-mode multi-input single-output universal filter. The current-modeâs design approach is used to obtain the proposed circuit. This circuit employs a single differential voltage extra-X current controlled current conveyor (DV-EXCCCII) and two grounded capacitors. This multifunction filter circuit offers low-pass, high-pass, all-pass, band-pass, and band-reject filters at a single output terminal without passive component matching constraints. The same circuit topology can obtain all second-order filter functions with different input conditions. The proposed circuit design is electronically adjustable with the bias current of DV-EXCCCII. Because of its high output impedance, this arrangement is suitable for cascading other current-mode circuits. The proposed circuit is simulated by Cadence Spectre with 0.18 ”m UMC CMOS technology process parameters at ± 0.9 V supply voltages. The simulation results agree well with the theoretical concept of the proposed circuit

The capability of LV LP operation could be achieved either by developed technologies or by design techniques. The thesis is concentrating upon design techniques, especially the nonâconventional ones which are bulkâdriven (BD), floatingâgate (FG), quasiâfloatingâgate (QFG), bulkâdriven floatingâgate (BDâFG) and bulkâdriven quasiâfloatingâgate (BDâQFG) techniques. The thesis also looks at ways of implementing structures of wellâknown and modern active elements operating in voltageâ, currentâ, and mixedâmode such as operational transconductance amplifier (OTA), second generation current conveyor (CCII), fullyâdifferential second generation current conveyor (FBâCCII), fullyâbalanced differential difference amplifier (FBâDDA), voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA), currentâcontrolled current differencing buffered amplifier (CCâCDBA) and current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA). In order to confirm the functionality and behavior of these configurations and elements, they have been utilized in application examples such as diodeâless rectifier and inductance simulations, as well as lowâpass, bandâpass and universal filters. All active elements and application examples have been verified by PSpice simulator using the 0.18 m TSMC CMOS parameters. Sufficient numbers of simulated plots are included in this thesis to illustrate the precise and strong behavior of structures.
