Abstract :
A new configuration realizing Nth-order low-pass filter involving second generation current conveyors is presented. All the current conveyors are of the positive type (CCII+). The proposed configuration allows the use of four capacitances, four resistances and four (CCII+). The use of this active component makes the implementation simple and attractive. The functionality of the circuit is tested using PSPICE simulator for a 0.35 mum CMOS process model. The proposed circuit is able to operate at low supply voltage (plusmn 0.75 V ). Simulation results are included to demonstrate the results.
