Abstract

The implementation of a chaotic oscillator which is based on Chua’s circuit, is presented. Chua’s diode is realized by using current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs). Furthermore, it is shown that a CMOS compatible CFOA can be designed by connecting two voltage followers sandwiched between two current mirrors. The proposed implementation is biased at ±1.2 V, and simulated by using SPICE and standard CMOS technology of 0.35 μm. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the sequence of chaotic behaviours for increasing values of the linear resistance.
