Abstract

New circuit configurations for realizing bandpass and iowpass current-mode second-order filters are proposed. Each configuration uses a single first-generation current conveyor, a transconductance amplifier, three grounded capacitors, and two resistors at most. The parameters ω0 and ω0/Q0 of the bandpass and lowpass realizations are not interdependent and, therefore, single element control of the bandpass and lowpass characteristics is possible. Also, the feasibility of realizing a single element current-controlled sinusoidal oscillator is considered.
