First-order allpass sections-based current-modeuniversal filter using ICCIIs

Abstract

An inverting type current conveyor (ICCII) is presented and its usefulness in active filter synthesis illustrated by presenting a new current-mode universal filter using this element. The universal filter configuration based on the implementation of first-order allpass sections employs the absolute minimum number of passive and active components and hence leads to a filter circuit with very simple implementation.
