Novel voltage-mode cascadable all-pass sections employing grounded passive components

Abstract

This paper presents two new first-order voltage-mode (VM) cascadable all-pass (AP) sections, employing two differential voltage current conveyors (DVCCs) and three grounded passive components. Both circuits possess high input and low output impedance, which makes them easily cascadable. Non-ideality aspects and parasitic effects are also studied. As an application, a quadrature oscillator is designed using the proposed circuit. The proposed circuits are verified through PSPICE simulations using 0.5 μm CMOS parameters. © World Scientific Publishing Company.
