Simulating Elliptic Low-pass Filter based on MOCCCII

Abstract

Abstract Multiple output current-control current conveyer (MOCCCII) based Elliptic low-pass filter by using a simulating of RLC ladder prototype is presented in this work. The good performances of RLC ladder as well as low-sensitivity are inherited. Signal flow graph (SFG) method is applied to convert the RLC Elliptic ladder low-pass filter prototype to be the different function blocks. These function blocks can be realized by integrator and differentiator. Lossy integrator, lossless integrator and lossless differentiator realized from MOCCCII are straightforward replaced in SFG. Due to the tuning ability of MOCCCII, the proposed Elliptic low-pass filter can be tuned by adjusting the bias current (IB ). In addition, the frequency responses can be varied from 50kHz to 1MHz by tuning IB from 1μA to 100 μA to prove the electronic tuning performance of the proposed filter. The simulation results are carried out by PSpice that the performances are totally agreed with the theory.
