A CFOA-Based Voltage-Mode Multifunction Biquadratic Filter and a Quadrature Oscillator Using the CFOA-Based Biquadratic Filter

Abstract

This paper proposes a new high-input impedance current feedback operational amplifier (CFOA)- based voltage-mode multifunction biquadratic filter and a voltage-mode quadrature oscillator using the proposed high-input impedance CFOA-based biquadratic filter. The proposed high-input impedance CFOA-based voltage-mode multifunction biquadratic filter uses three CFOAs, three resistors, and two grounded capacitors with two inputs and three outputs. The filter can simultaneously realize non-inverting low-pass, non-inverting band-pass, and non-inverting band-reject filtering functions at the high-input impedance terminal while the inverting band-pass and non-inverting high-pass filtering functions can also be obtained by applying another high-input impedance terminal. The filter offers orthogonal control of resonance angular frequency and quality factor. The proposed high-input impedance CFOA-based voltage-mode multifunction biquadratic filter can be used to implement a voltage-mode quadrature oscillator with an independently controlled the frequency of oscillator and the condition of oscillation. The OrCAD PSpice simulation and experimental results of the commercially available integrated circuit, AD844AN, are used to confirm the characteristics of the proposed filter and oscillator.
