New low component count floating inductor simulators consisting of a single DDCC

Abstract

In this paper, five novel and minimum number count floating inductor simulators (FIs) are proposed. Three of the presented FIs depending on the passive component choice can provide parallel R-L, (-R)-(-L) and series R-L, (-R)-(-L) from the same configuration while other two provide one of parallel R-L or series R-L. Some of the introduced positive lossy inductor simulators employ a grounded capacitor; accordingly, they are convenient for integrated circuit (IC) implementation. So as to exhibit the performance of the proposed structures, computer simulations based on SPICE program are given. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
