USE OF A CCII- AS A UNIVERSAL BUILDING-BLOCK

This paper purports to show a second generation negative current conve yor (CCII-), which can be used as a basic building block for the desig n of typical RC-active applications and also to build-up more complex active devices. A practical bipolar circuit has been fabricated to imp lement the CCII- functionality. Simulation results are provided for su ch a circuit and a couple of applications are proposed to demonstrate its practical use. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
