ABSTRACT
A new analog block, Differential Voltage Extra-X Current Controlled Conveyor (DV-EXCCCII) based current mode universal filter configuration is introduced in this paper. Only one current mode analog block DV-EXCCCII, three grounded components are used to design proposed filter configuration. This circuit provides high output impedance, which allows cascading feature to circuit without need of extra buffer circuit. This configuration realise all five (Low Pass, High Pass, All Pass, Band Pass and Band Reject) second-order filter functions with an appropriate selection of input. Bias current of DV-EXCCCII provides the electronic tuning characteristic to proposed circuit. Sensitivity due to passive components and non-idealities of the analog block is low and magnitude is below unity. The proposed filter circuit configuration is designed in CADENCE and simulated with SPECTRE using 180 nm UMC CMOS process technology.
