Inductor implementation using a canonical number of active and passive elements

Abstract

There is quite a large number of active simulated inductor realizations in the literature, but all of these presented topologies except the recently proposed inductor simulators have either more than one active component or more than a minimum number of passive components. Two resistors and one capacitor are the required canonical number of passive elements to implement a simulated inductor. In this study, a new topology using a single minus-type modified inverting first-generation current conveyor (MICCI-) as a novel active device and a minimum number of passive elements is proposed. The MICCI- is a voltage gain-variable current conveyor (GVCC). Simulation results and non-ideal voltage and current gains effects for the proposed circuit are given.
