DXCCII - based grounded inductance simulators and filter applications

Abstract

In this paper two new grounded inductance simulators based on DXCCII suitable for operation in 30 kHz-30 MHz frequency range, are presented. The proposed circuits both employ only a single dual X second-generation current conveyor (DXCCII) active device accompanied with three and four passive elements, respectively. The accuracy of the simulated inductors is verified by implementing them in some filter applications. Also, a novel multi-input single-output universal filter derived from one of the new grounded inductance simulators is simulated to demonstrate the functionality of the proposed circuit. Simulation results using AMS 0.35 mu m CMOS process technology parameters are included.
