Abstract
In this paper, the second-generation CMOS currentcontrolled-
current-conveyor based on differential pair of
operational transconductance amplifier has been researched and
presented. Since the major improvement of its parasitic resistance
at x-port can be linearly controlled by an input bias current, the
proposed building block is then called “The Second-Generation
Electronically-tunable Current-controlled Current Conveyor”
(ECCCI). The applications are demonstrated in form of both 2
quadrant and 4 quadrant current-mode signal multiplier circuits.
Characteristics of the proposed ECCCII and its application are
simulated by the PSPICE program from which the results are
proved to be in agreement with the theory.
