CCCIIs-Based First-Order All-Pass Filter and Quadrature Oscillators

摘要

This paper introduces a current-mode first-order all-pass filter (APF) and its application in quadrature oscillator (QO) based on CCCII. The proposed filter can provide inverting and noninverting all-pass functions with a same circuit topology, it uses two CCCIIs and one grounded capacitor. Moreover, the first-order all-pass filter was applied in current-mode sinusoidal quadrature oscillators with the design based on block diagrams. The introduced oscillators can provide four phase-quadrature signals which independently control the condition of oscillation (CO) and frequency of oscillation (FO). The proposed oscillators consist of three CCCIIs and two grounded capacitors. The proposed APF and QOs have high output impedance which can directly drive load without additional current buffer. In addition, they use only grounded capacitors which are very appropriate to future development into an integrated circuit. The results of PSPICE simulation program correspond to the theoretical analysis.
