Canonical inductor simulators with grounded capacitors using DCCII

Abstract

Differential current conveyor (DCCII) can be defined as a second-generation current conveyor with current differencing capability. In this article, a BJT implementation of the DCCII is introduced. Also, to emphasise the advantage of this active element, two new inductance simulator circuits are proposed as application examples. Furthermore, the presented inductor simulator circuits employ a minimum number of elements and they enjoy having grounded capacitors. Experimental and simulation results are given to verify theoretical analyses.
