Abstract: | A novel current-mode active-only universal filter based on and employing three DO-CCCIIs and two OAs is introduced. The circuit is fully integrable and programmable, and implements all the five generic filtering functions. The three basic filtering responses LP, BP and HP are implemented simultaneously by the circuit, while AP and notch signals can be realized simply by connecting appropriate node currents. The currents are available at high output impedances, so the synthesized filter can be cascaded without additional buffers to realize higher order filters. The filter performance factors ω 0 and Q are electronically tunable in an orthogonal manner through separate bias currents of the CCCII. The PSPICE simulation was carried out to realize the proposed circuit. |
