DX-MOCCII Based Fully Cascadable Second Order Current-Mode Universal Filter

Abstract

The paper presents a new second-order single input multiple output (SIMO) type current mode (CM) universal filter. The proposed circuit uses two dual-X second generation multi-output current conveyors (DX-MOCCII), two grounded capacitors and three grounded resistors. The circuit configuration realizes low-pass filter (LPF), high-pass filter (HPF), band-pass filter (BPF), notch filter (NF) and all-pass filter (APF) responses simultaneously at different output terminals. The new circuit enjoys the features of low input impedance and high output impedance, which is desirable and useful for cascadability in CM circuits. For realizing the universal filter responses, the proposed circuit configuration does not require matching constraint of passive components and both active and passive sensitivities are found low. In addition, the extension of the proposed circuit as a resistorless universal filter has also been presented. As an application of the proposed filter, inverting band pass output is connected to a negative unity gain current follower in a close loop to design voltage and CM multiphase sinusoidal oscillators (MSOs). Comparison of the proposed configuration with available literature is given. The PSPICE simulation of the filter and its application as MSO are performed to verify the agreement with the theoretical proposition.
