Multifunction Filter Employing Current Differencing Buffered Amplifier

Abstract

This paper proposes a new filter biquad circuit, which utilizes three Current Differencing Buffered Amplifiers (CDBA), two capacitors and five resistors, and operates in the trans-resistance mode. This multi-input and single-output multifunction filter uses only grounded capacitors. All the employed resistors are either grounded or virtually grounded, which is an important parameter for its implementation as an integrated circuit. The circuit enjoys independent tunability of angular frequency and bandwidth. The 0.5 μm technology process parameters have been utilized to test and verify the performance characteristics of the circuit using PSPICE. The non-ideal analysis and sensitivity analysis, transient response, Monte-Carlo analysis and calculations of total harmonic distortion have also been shown.
