Second Generation Differential Current Conveyor (DCCII) and its Applications

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: 10, , language: English, abstract: By considering the advantages offering in CM circuits and to meet the need for generating square wave generator circuit and all pass filter circuits in most electronic appliances, some new square wave generators and all pass filter circuits are proposed in this thesis.

In the thesis, new all-pass filters with the DCCII as the main active device are proposed. The proposed circuits consist of two resistors and two capacitors, including one grounded capacitor, suitable for tuning. In literature, it is widely accepted that use of grounded capacitors makes the designs suitable for integrated circuit (IC) realisation. Grounded IC capacitors have less parasitics compared to floating counterparts, which is important from the performance point of view and to avoid noise effects.
