Current Conveyors and Their Applications

In this chapter, current conveyors (CCs) and their applications are investigated. CCs can be mainly divided into three generations, first-generation CC (CCI), second-generation CC (CCII), and third-generation CC. Other CCs such as subtractor connected CCI, current controlled CCII (CCCII), inverting CCII, differential CC, dual X CCII, differential voltage CC, differential difference CC, fully differential CCII, current differencing CC, extra X CCCII, etc. are also available. As application examples for the CCs, simulated grounded inductors, simulated floating inductors, first-order low-pass filters, first-order high-pass filters, first-order all-pass filters, instrumentation amplifiers, full-wave rectifiers, and quadrature oscillators are given.
