This paper introduces a way to realize biquadratic transfer functions using Operational Amplifiers (OAs) and Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs). The basic circuit configuration is constructed with two OAs and five OTAs. It is shown that low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, band-stop and all-pass transfer functions can be realized by suitably choosing the input terminals. And the circuit parameters can also be set by the transconductance gains of the OTAs independently. An example is given together with simulated results by PSPICE.

This paper introduces a voltage-mode biquadratic circuit using only Operational Amplifiers (OTAs) and Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs). The proposed circuit can realize low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, band-stop and all-pass transfer functions by suitably choosing the input and output terminals. And the circuit characteristics can be electronically tuned through adjusting the transconductance gains of OTAs. Some examples are given together with simulated results by PSpice. The circuit configuration is very suitable for implementation in both bipolar and CMOS technologies.

A circuit building block for realizing a continuous-time active-only current-mode integrator is presented. The proposed integrator is composed only of internally compensated type operational amplifier (OA) and operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). The integrator is suitable for integrated circuit implementation in either bipolar or CMOS technologies, since it does not require any external passive elements. Moreover, the integrator gain can be tuned through the transconductance gains of the OTAs. Some application examples in the realization of current-mode network functions using the proposed current-mode integrator as an active element are also given.

This paper presents a novel circuit configuration for realizing the continuous-time active-only voltage-mode integrator. The proposed integrator consists only of internally compensated type operational amplifier (OA) and operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). Since no external passive elements are required, the integrator is suitable for integrated circuit implementation in either bipolar or CMOS technologies. Moreover, the integrator gain can be electronically tuned by adjusting the bias currents of the OTAs. The characteristics of the proposed integrator and the effectiveness of the design procedure in realizing various analog transfer functions have been examined by PSPICE simulation.

This study presents a new architecture for a field programmable analog array (FPAA) for use in low-frequency applications, and a generalized circuit realization method for the implementation of nth-order elliptic filters. The proposed designs of both the FPAA and elliptic filters are based on the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) used in implementing OTA-C filters for biopotential signal processing. The proposed FPAA architecture has a flexible, expandable structure with direct connections between configurable analog blocks (CABs) that eliminates the use of switches. The generalized elliptic filter circuit realization provides a simplified, direct synthetic method for an OTA-C symmetric balanced structure for even/odd-nth-order low-pass filters (LPFs) and notch filters with minimum number of components, using grounded capacitors. The filters are mapped on the FPAA, and both architectures are validated with simulations in LTspice using 90-nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Both proposed FPAA and filters generalized synthetic method achieve simple, flexible, low-power designs for implementation of biopotential signal processing systems.

This paper introduces a way to realize high-pass, band-stop and all-pass transfer functions using Operational Transconductance Amplifiers (OTAs) and grounded capacitors. The basic circuit configuration is constructed with five OTAs and two grounded capacitors. In the circuit with the proportional block, it is shown that the circuit parameters can be independently set and electronically tuned by the transconductance gains. Although the circuit configuration has been Down, it seems that the feature for realizing the high-pass, the band-pass and the all-pass transfer functions makes the structure more attractive and useful. An example is given together with simulated results by PSPICE.

본 논문은 회로 구성 블록으로 CMOS 연산 트랜스컨덕턴스 증폭기(OTA)를 사용한 새로운 3.3-1 V 동기식 buck DC/DC 컨버터를 제안한다. PWM 회로의 오차 증폭기 OTA는 온도 안정성 향상을 위해 보상되었다. 보상된 OTA 트랜스컨덕턴스 이득의 온도 계수는 $0-100^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 $150\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ 이하이다. $0.35{\mu}m$ 표준 CMOS 공정으로 HSPICE 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과는 40-125 mA의 부하 전류 범위에서 제안된 컨버터의 효율이 80% 이상임을 보여준다. 이러한 결과는 제안된 컨버터가 전지로 동작되는 시스템에 이용하기에 적당함을 보여준다.

A systematic synthesis process is described for the simulation of current-controllable inductors using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs). The process is used to obtain three circuits; two are believed to be novel. The process is also applied to design current-controllable frequency-dependent negative resistances (FDNRs). Operation principles of designed circuits are presented and experimental results are used to verify theoretical predictions. The results show close agreement between predicted behavior and experimental performance.

Sinusoidal voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) based on Colpitts and Hartley oscillators are presented. They consist of a LC parallel-tuned circuit connected in a negative-feedback loop with an OTA-R amplifier and two diode limiters, where the inductor is simulated one realized with temperature-stable linear operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and a grounded capacitor. Prototype VCOs are built with discrete components. The Colpitts VCO exhibits less than 1% nonlinearity in its current-to-frequency transfer characteristic from 4.2 to 21.7 MHz and ${\pm}$95 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ temperature drift of frequency over 0 to $70^{\circ}C$. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is as low as 2.92% with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 0.7 V for a frequency-tuning range of 10.8-32 MHz. The Hartley VCO has the temperature drift and THD of two times higher than those of the Colpitts VCO.

OTA를 이용한 전류-제어 인덕터를 시뮬레이션하기 위한 체계적인 합성 과정을 기술했다. 그 합성 과정을 통해 세 개의 시뮬레이티드 인덕터를 설계했고, 그 중에서 두 개는 새롭게 설계된 것이다. 또한, 이 합성 과정을 전류-제어 FDNR 설계에 적용했다. 설계된 회로들의 동작 원리를 제시했고, 실험을 통해 설계 이론의 타당성을 증명했다. FDNR을 전류-제어 대역-통과 여파기에 응용한 예도 제시했다.
