This article presents a current-mode universal biquadratic filter (low-pass, high-pass, band-pass functions), based on multiple-output current controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifiers (MO-CCCCTAs). The features of the circuit are that: the quality factor and pole frequency can be tuned orthogonally via the input bias currents: the circuit description is very simple, consisting of merely 2 MO-CCCCTAs and 2 grounded capacitors. Without any external resistors, requiring no component matching conditions, and using only grounded elements, the proposed circuit is very appropriate to further develop into an integrated circuit. Moreover, the proposed circuit enables easy cascading in current-mode, due to high-output impedances. The PSPICE simulation results are depicted. The given results agree well with the theoretical anticipation. The power consumption is approximately 4.04mW at ±1.5V power supply voltages.
