A novel first order voltage-mode non-inverting and inverting output of all-pass filter using an inverting type current conveyor (ICCII) is given. It is a first announced about a first-order voltage-mode non-inverting and inverting output of all-pass filter at the same configuration in the literature. The proposed circuit is verified using HSPICE simulation with attractive results.

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 for the current outputs is developed. The CCII was implemented using a double-poly triple-metal 0.6 µm n-well CMOS process, to confirm its operation experimentally. A prototype chip achieves a rail-to-rail swing 2.4 V under 2.5 V power supplies and shows the exact voltage and current following performances up to 100 MHz. These performances make the CCII proposed herein quite useful for a building block of current-mode circuits. The prototype CCII is applied to current-mode filters to demonstrate the wideband signal processing capabilities.

A filter configuration that allows configuration of any transfer function used the state variable is discribed as an application of the second generation current conveyors (CCIIs) to RC networks. The filter types discussed are low-pass filter (LPF), high-pass filter (HPF), band-pass filter (BPF), all-pass filter (APF), and band-elimination filter (BEF). The filter circuit consists of four CCIIs and allows tandem connections. The device sensitivity and CCII's sensitivity to transfer coefficient are relatively low. The filter circuit that allow simultaneous configuration wewe fabricated. An experimental result at around 10kHz was obtained for the filters. In the case, the LPF, HPF, BPF, APF, and BEF characteristics are obtained at Q value of 5.0.
