Inverting voltage buffer based lossless grounded inductor simulators

Abstract

In this study, two new lossless grounded inductor simulators (GISs) made up of a single plus-type second-generation current conveyor, two inverting voltage buffers and a minimum number of passive components are proposed. There is no requirement of matching conditions and cancellation constraints among passive elements of the proposed GISs. Nevertheless, both of the proposed GISs have a floating capacitor which can be easily realized in nowadays integrated circuit fabrication. A second-order voltage-mode band-pass filter application is given for the proposed lossless GISs. A number of simulations based on SPICE program are given so as to verify the theory. © 2017 Elsevier GmbH
