Nonlinear Applications of CCs

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Current Conveyors

Abstract

This chapter discusses the applications of CCs in realizing a number of non-linear functions such as multipliers, dividers, Squarers, square-rooters, fuzzy functions, analog switches, pseudo-exponential circuits and built-in-test structures. Also discussed are a variety of Schmitt triggers, relaxation oscillators, wave form generators and chaotic oscillators.
