Abstract

Two new multiple-mode (including voltage, current, transconductance, and transresistance modes) OTA-C universal biquad filters are proposed. The first proposed circuit uses only four operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) and two grounded capacitors. The second proposed circuit uses five OTAs and two grounded capacitors. Both the proposed circuits can realize voltage, current, transconductance, and transresistance mode universal filtering responses (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, notch, and all-pass) from the same topology. The first proposed circuit uses the least number of components. This represents an attractive feature from a chip area and power consumption point of view. The second proposed circuit has no need of extra inverting and non-inverting amplifiers for special input signals. Moreover, both the proposed biquads still have (i) the employment of two grounded capacitors, (ii) cascadable connection of the former voltage-mode stage and the latter current-mode stage, and (iii) low sensitivity performance. H-SPICE simulation results confirm the theoretical analysis.
