Analytical synthesis of the digitally programmable voltage-mode OTA-C universal biquad

None of the recently reported voltage-mode versatile filters are digitally programmable for applications like the easy addition of current-mode filtering signals to do the synthesis. None of the recently reported analytical synthesis methods are used for the realization of a multifunction filter. Both the above two induced motivations of researches have been merged, developed, and solved in this brief on the voltage-mode operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)-C universal biquad filter, which still achieves many advantages like the employment of all single-ended-input OTAs, all grounded capacitors, and the least number of active transistor and passive component counts, in addition to having a controllable gain, a cascadable input terminal, and the absence of the need to impose component matchings.
