Abstract

A new current conveyor block, called a balanced-output third generation inverting current conveyor (ICCIII+−), is introduced in this paper. A novel CMOS realization for this block is proposed. To show the strength of this block, many applications are given, such as integrators, filters, and an oscillator. The proposed ICCIII+− and the presented applications are tested with SPICE simulations using CMOS 0.35 μm technology to verify the theoretical results.
