Abstract
In this chapter, it has been demonstrated how CFOAs have been used by a number of researchers in realizing other analog circuit building blocks such as various types of current conveyors, unity gain voltage and current followers, four terminal floating nullors, Current differencing buffered amplifiers, operational trans-resistance amplifiers, Current differencing transconductance amplifiers, third generation Current conveyors (CCIII), differential voltage second generation Current Conveyors, Current follower transconductance amplifiers, current controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifier, differential-input buffered transconductance amplifier and voltage differencing differential input buffered amplifier etc. These applications further establish the flexibility and versatility of CFOAs in analog circuit design.
