Class A bipolar second-generation current conveyor (CCII) with low current-input impedance and its offset-compensated CCII for high-accuracy current-mode signal processing are proposed. The CCIIs consist of a regulated current-cell for current input, a emitter follower for voltage input, and a cascode current mirror lot current output. In these architecture, the two input stages are coupled by current mirror to reduce the current input impedance. Experiments show that the CCII has impedance of 8.4 Ω and offset voltage of 40 mV at current input terminal. To reduce this offset, the offset-compensated CCII adopts diode-connected npn and pnp transistor in the proposed CCII. Experiments show that the offset-compensated CCII has current input impedance of 2.1 Ω and offset voltage of 0.05 mV. The 3-dB cutoff frequency of the CCIIs when used as a voltage follower extends beyond 30 MHz. The power dissipation is 7.0 mW

A novel low-power wideband bipolar second-generation current conveyors(CCIIs) and its application to universal instrumentation amplifier(UIA) were proposed. The CCII for accuracy voltage or current transfer characteristics and low current input impedance adopted adaptive current bias circuit into conventional class Ab CCII. The UIA consists of only two CCIIs and four resistors. Three instrumentation function of the UIA can be realized by selection of input signals and resistors. The simulation results show that the CCII has input impedance of 2.0$\Omega$ and the voltage gain of 60㏈ for frequency range from 0 to 50KHz when used as a voltage amplifier. The CCII has also good characteristics of current follower for current range from -100㎃ to ＋100㎃. The simulation results show that the UIA has three instrumentation amplifier functions without resistor matching. The UIA has the voltage gain of 40㏈ for frequency range from 0 to 100KHz when used as a fully-differential instrumentation amplifier. The power dissipations of the CCII and the UIA are 0.75㎽ and 1.5㎽ at supply voltage of $\pm$2.5V, respectively.

A novel instrumentation amplifier(IA) using positive polarity current-conveyor(CCII+) for electronic measurement systems with low cost, wideband, and gain control with wide range is designed. The IA consists of two CCII+, three resistor, and an operational amplifier(op-amp). The principal of the operating is that the difference of two input voltages applied into two CCII+ used voltage and current follower converts into same currents, and then these current drive resistor of (+) terminal and feedback resistor of op-amp to obtain output voltage. To verify operating principal of the IA, we designed the CCII+ and used commercial op-amp LF356. Simulation results show that voltage follower used CCII+ has offset voltage of 0.21mV at linear range of ${\pm}$4V. The IA had wide gain range from -20dB to 60dB by variation of only one resistor and -3dB frequency for the gain of 60dB was 400kHz. The IA also has merits without matching of external resistor and controllable offset voltage using the other resistor. The power dissipation of the IA is 130mW at supply voltage of ${\pm}$5V.

This paper proposes the design of a current-mode CCII-based 2$\^$nd/ _order bandpass biquad filter from a grounded series capacitor and frequency-dependent negative conductor ( C-D ) immittance function simulator using the macro model of a commercial available CCII+, AD844, from Analog Devices, Inc. The results are compared with the other results those are designed using ideal model of CCII-. The gain and phase deviations; due to the effects of passive sensitivity, active sensitivity, gain sensitivity and component variability; are considered using Monte-Carlo analysis of PSpice program.

This paper presents a second-generation CMOS current conveyor (CCII) consisting of a rail-to-rail complementary N- and P-channel differential input stage for the voltage input, a class AB push-pull stage for the current input, and current mirrors far the current outputs. The CCII was implemented using a double-poly triple-metal 0.6 ${\mu}$m n-well CMOS process, to confirm its operation experimentally. A prototype chip achieves a rail-to-rail swing ${\pm}$2.4 V under ${\pm}$2.5 V power supplies and shows the exact voltage and current following performances up to 100 MHz. Because of its high performances, the CCII proposed herein is quite useful for a building block of current-mode circuits. The applications of the proposed CCII to current-mode filters are also described.

The purpose of this paper is to realize an ideal F.D.N.R using a minimum number of passive elements and two CCIIs. The configuration of proposed circuit can be shown to be superior to that of conventional circuit because both capacitors are grounded and may also be equal-valued for easy IC fablication. Experimental data reveals performance of the new circuit for frequency characteristics when appling to an active elliptic low pass filter.
