A new mixed mode biquad using reduced number of active and passive elements

Abstract

The configuration that can work in mixed mode may be useful from IC realization viewpoint and application adaptability. This paper proposes a generalized mixed mode universal filter configuration that may be used in all possible modes i.e. voltage mode, current mode, trans-impedance mode and trans-admittance mode. The architecture uses minimum number of active and passive components reported till date and can realize all generic filter functions: low pass, band pass, high pass, notch and all pass. PSPICE simulation results agree well with experimental values. © IEICE 2006.
