Novel current-mode active filter circuits using current-conveyors are presented. The proposed circuits can realize all standard second-order filter functions. The circuits enjoy high output impedances and can, therefore, be easily cascaded to produce higher order filters. Moreover, the realized filter function can be easily programmed using at most a 13-bit digital number without changing the circuit topology.

This paper presents a tutorial review of the current-mode approach to analogue electronic circuit design, in particular some of the author’s own research over the past decade covering the development of a new generation of technology specific current-mode analogue signal processing. In this paper various technologies are represented with key current-mode building blocks ranging from current-conveyors, current-feedback operational amplifiers, linear transconductance amplifiers to applications ranging from current-mode active filters to low-noise current-mode optical preamplifiers. Advantages, future trends and perspectives of the current-mode approach are highlighted throughout the paper. The theoretical basis for many of the examples dates back many years but it is only recently due to advances in process technology that many of these techniques have now become a practical reality.

A current-mode universal biquadratic filter with three input terminals and one output terminal is presented. The architecture uses two current conveyors (CCs), two grounded capacitors and two grounded resistors; and can realize all standard second-order filter functions — highpass, bandpass, lowpass, notch and allpass. Moreover, the circuit still offers the following advantage features: very low active and passive sensitivities, using of grounded capacitors and resistors which is ideal for integrated circuit implementation, without requirements for critical component matching conditions and very high output impedance. The workability of the proposed circuit has been verified via HSPICE simulations using TSMC 0.18 μm, level 49 MOSFET technology.

A Current

A Current-Mode (CM) TransImpedance Amplifier (TIA) based on Second Generation Current Conveyors (CCIIs) for capacitive microsensor measurements is presented. The designed electronic interface performs a capacitance-to-voltage conversion using 3 CCIIs and 3 resistors exploiting a synchronous-demodulation technique to improve the overall detection sensitivity and resolution of the system. A CM-TIA solution designed at transistor level in AMS0.35 µm integrated CMOS technology with a power consumption lower than 900 µW is proposed. Experimental results obtained with a board-level prototype show linear behavior of the proposed interface circuit with a resolution up to 34.5 fF and a sensitivity up to 223 mV/nF, confirming the theoretical expectations.

As the transistors are continuously scaling down, it becomes necessary to reduce voltage supply and power requirements of the circuit to increase its performance and stability. Whereas, current- mode devices require less number of stages with high output impedance results in improved performance and large bandwidth as compared to voltage-mode techniques. OTA are current-mode device that takes voltage as input and produces current as output with high gain and large bandwidth. The frequency bands were parameters were determined such as the cutoff frequency (fc), the band width (BW), the quality factor (Q), and the angular frequency (Wo). In this paper the design and the simulation of the transfer function has been done by using (MATLAB) in order to obtain the frequency response for all types of filter (the low pass filter, high pass filter, band pass filter and band stop filter).

This paper presents a versatile universal current-mode and transresistance-mode biquadratic filter using only two multiple outputs second-generation current conveyors (MOCCIIs), two grounded capacitors, and three grounded resistors. The proposed configuration can realize all five standard filtering functions from one current-output terminal and one voltage-output terminal, and also provide all these filtering functions from different current-output and voltage-output terminals without changing the filter topology. Moreover, the proposed biquad filter still achieves many advantages like the employment of all grounded passive components, and the minimum number of active component counts, in addition to having no need of inverting-type input signals or double-type input signals for the use of special input signals, high output impedance and low sensitivity performance. H-Spice simulation results confirm the theory.
