Low-voltage digitally controlled fully differential current conveyor

Design and simulation of a digitally controlled CMOS fully differential current conveyor (DCFDCC) is presented. A novel current division network (CDN) is used to provide the digital control of the current gain between terminals and Z of this DCFDCC. The proposed DCFDCC operates under low supply voltage of +/- 1.5 V. The realization of the DCFDCC using the new CDN is presented by two approaches. First approach has linearly proportional current gain with the digitally controlled parameter of the CDN, while the second approach exhibits current gain between terminalsX and Z greater than, or equal to, one. Applications of the DCFDCC in realizing second order universal active filter and variable gain amplifier are given. PSPICE simulation confirms the performance of the proposed blocks and its applications.
