Electronically Tunable Voltage-Mode Biquad Filter/Oscillator Based On CCCCTAs (1306.5412v1)

Abstract: In this paper, a circuit employing current controlled current conveyor trans-conductance amplifiers (CCCCTAs) as active element is proposed which can function both as biquad filter and oscillator. It uses two CCCCTAs and two capacitors. As a biquad filter it can realizes all the standard filtering functions (low pass, band pass, high pass, band reject and all pass) in voltage-mode and provides the feature of electronically and orthogonal control of pole frequency and quality factor through biasing current(s) of CCCCTAs. The proposed circuit can also be worked as oscillator without changing the circuit topology. Without any resistors and using capacitors, the proposed circuit is suitable for IC fabrication. The validity of proposed filter is verified through PSPICE simulations.
