Single-input four-output voltage-mode universal filter using single DDCCTA

An electronically tunable universal voltage-mode biquadratic filter with single input and four outputs using one differential difference current conveyor transconductance amplifier (DDCCTA), two resistors and two grounded capacitors is proposed. All the five standard biquadratic filter functions; lowpass (LP), bandpass (BP), highpass (HP), bandstop (BS) and allpass (AP), can be obtained from the circuit configuration. The LP, BP and HP are simultaneously available without component matching condition. By imposing component choice, the BS and AP responses can also be realized from the same circuit configuration. In addition, the proposed circuit provides an electronic control of its natural angular frequency (coo) and quality factor (Q) by adjusting the bias current of the DDCCTA. The simulation results together with the ideal values are also given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed circuit. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
