Applications of novel behavioral implementation of a controllable generalized current conveyor

Abstract

This contribution presents a novel modification of a behavioral model for a generalized current conveyor of second generation based on commercially available active devices. This model is suitable for preliminary tests of applications before demanding stage of expensive IC design and fabrication starts. Its main features aim at simplifying and unifying topology where three independently electronically adjustable parameters are available. Operation of the model is verified in several introduced applications (an electronically reconfigurable filter and generation of sine waveform). Substantial extension of tunability has been obtained in applying the model in the proposed oscillator in comparison to the standard linear tuning method. All expectations were confirmed by PSpice simulations.This contribution presents a novel modification of a behavioral model for a generalized current conveyor of second generation based on commercially available active devices.
