Despite the extensive literature on current conveyor-based universal (namely, low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, notch, and all-pass) biquads with three inputs and one output, no filter circuits have been reported to date which simultaneously achieve the following seven important features: (i) employment of only two current conveyors, (ii) employment of only grounded capacitors, (iii) employment of only grounded resistors, (iv) high-input and low-output impedance, (v) no need to employ inverting type input signals, (vi) no need to impose component choice conditions to realize specific filtering functions, and (vii) low active and passive sensitivity performances. This letter describes a new voltage-mode biquad circuit that satisfies all the above features simultaneously, and without trade-offs.
Despite the extensive literature on current conveyor-based voltage-mode universal biquads with single input and multiple outputs, no filter circuits have been reported to date which simultaneously achieve all of the advantageous features: (i) employment of only one differential difference current conveyor (DDCC), (ii) employment of only two grounded capacitors, (iii) employment of only three resistors, (iv) simultaneous realization of voltage-mode low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass filter signals from the three output terminals, respectively, (v) no need to employ inverting type input signals, and (vi) no need to impose component choice.
