ABSTRACT
The paper presents a new voltage-mode universal filter using a differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA). It has three inputs and single output. The proposed circuit can simultaneously realize low-pass, band-pass, and high pass, band reject and all pass filter functions without changing the circuit topology and passive elements. The circuit exhibits a good frequency performance. SPICE simulation using 0.25 m TSMC CMOS technology parameters are included to show the workability of the proposed circuits.

INTRODUCTION

Current-mode circuits have been receiving considerable attention owing to their potential advantages such as wider bandwidth, greater linearity, higher slew rate, wider dynamic range, simple circuitry, and low power consumption [1]-[2] compared to voltage-mode circuits. Active filters are so widely used in electronic systems, such as telecommunications, radar, consumer electronics, instrumentation systems, and military ordnance [3]-[4]. Many voltage-mode universal filters with multi-inputs were proposed. From different combinations of injection of input voltage signals, voltage-mode low pass, band pass, high pass, notch, and all pass filters can be obtained without changing the circuit topology. Recently there are reports of some new analog building blocks, such as current-conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCTA) [5], current controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCCCTA) [6], current difference transconductance amplifier (CDTA) [7], differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA) [8] and

differential voltage current controlled conveyor transconductance amplifier DVCCCTA. These can be obtained by cascading of current mode building blocks with TA analog building blocks in monolithic chip for compact implementation of signal processing circuits and systems. The differential voltage current conveyor (DVCC) is an analog building block which reduces the drawbacks of current conveyor. For the applications which require two high input impedance terminals (differential or floating inputs) like impedance converters and current-mode instrumentation amplifiers, a single CCII block [9]-[10] is not sufficient to provide two high input impedances. So the differential voltage current conveyor (DVCC) [11][12] block is used for providing two high input impedance terminals. The transconductance amplifier (TA) [13] is a differential amplifier whose differential input voltage produces an output current. The DVCCTA is made by cascade connection of DVCC & TA (Transconductance amplifier). This paper presents a universal voltage-mode filter and a universal current mode filter based on recently proposed active building block, namely, differential voltage current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DVCCTA) which has DVCC as input block followed by transconductance amplifier (TA). In this paper, a voltage-mode universal filter circuit that has three input terminals and single output terminal is presented. The proposed circuit has been implemented through spice simulation using 0.25m TSMC CMOS technology parameters.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The performance of the voltage mode universal filter by using single DVCCTA has been analysed. The simulation has been done by using PSPICE simulation with 0.25m TSMC CMOS technology parameters and power supply of 1.25V. The aspect ratio of various transistors of DVCCTA is listed in table 2. The supply voltages used were 2.5 V and VBB= 0.8V. The proposed circuit of second-order current mode biquad filter (Figure 3) circuit was designed with fo = 1MHz, C1 = C2 =0.1 nF, R1 = 1 K and RX = 1.454K. The simulation results of second-order voltage -mode universal filter are shown in Figures 48.
