A new, improved CMOS realization of CDTA and its filter applications

Authors: FIRAT KAÇAR, HULUSİ HAKAN KUNTMAN

Abstract: This paper presents a high-performance current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA), a recently reported active element, especially suitable for analog signal processing applications. A high linearity CMOS configuration for a CDTA is made up of high linearity input and output stages. The proposed CDTA provides high output impedance at port X and excellent input/output current tracking. A biquad filter circuit was chosen as an application example in order to demonstrate the performance of the CDTA. PSpice simulation results using a TSMC 0.35-\mu m CMOS process model were included to verify the expected values.

Keywords: CDTA, analog MOS integrated circuits, active filters
