A novel mixed-mode current-conveyor-based filter

Abstract

A new mixed-mode biquad circuit is presented. The circuit uses six single-output plus-type second-generation current-conveyors (CCII+s), a single dual-output CCII+, two grounded capacitors, eight resistors, at least two of them permanently grounded, and can realize lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch, lowpass notch, highpass notch and allpass responses from the same topology. The circuit can be driven by voltage or current and its output can be voltage or current. The parameters ω₀ and ω₀/Q ₀ enjoy independent electronic tunability. Simulation results are included.
