Abstract

A CMOS-based Electronically Tunable Capacitance Multipliers, which can be magnified the value of a grounded unit capacitance, is presented in this article. The multiplication factor is varied by the ratio of the bias currents. The proposed circuit is simple, small in size and suitable for implementing in standard CMOS process. PSPICE simulation results demonstrating the characteristics of the proposed circuit are included.
