Abstract

In this paper, a new grounded inductor simulator employing two current feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs), three resistors and one grounded capacitor which is suitable for IC fabrication is proposed. Also, a new voltage-mode (VM) universal filter with three input and single output is given as application example of the grounded inductor simulator. The universal filter with low output impedance can be easily cascaded with other VM circuits. Both of the proposed circuits have the feature of improved low frequency performances, and can be easily constructed by two commercially available active devices such as AD844s. However, both inductor simulator and universal filter need a single passive component matching condition. Simulation and experimental test results are given to demonstrate the performance and workability of the proposed grounded inductor simulator and filter structure.
