given circuits in which ideal elements are used.
vi Preface
Chapter 4 describes passive component-based voltage, current, transimpedance
and
transadmittance-mode first-order, second-order, and high-order filter transfer
functions in detail. In the filter realizations, resistors, capacitors, and inductors are
used. Combinations of resistors, capacitors, and inductors implement all the filter
transfer functions.
Chapter 5 deals with operational amplifiers and their applications. Some funda-
menta
l circuits based on ideal operational amplifiers are given. Several restrictions of
the operational amplifier-based circuits are exhibited. Many circuits such as simu-
lated grounded inductors, rectifiers, oscillators, and filters employing operational
amplifier(s) are given. Slew rate limitations with numerous examples are given. Full-
power bandwidth is defined.
Chapter 6 introduces unity gain cells, i.e., current followers and voltage fol-
lowers.
Current and voltage follower-based many analog circuits, for example,
amplifier/attenuator, integrator, differentiator, voltage-mode filters, adder, all-pass
filters, instrumentation amplifiers, etc., are given.
Chapter 7 describes unity
gain inverting amplifiers and negative impedance
converters. A number of circuits for realizing different transfer functions, first-
order voltage-mode all-pass filters, and one first-order current-mode universal filter
based on a single unity gain amplifier are given. Afterward, many circuits based on
negative impedance converter(s) are investigated.
Chapter 8 deals with current-mode active devices, current conveyors (CCs).
These
CCs are called first-generation CC (CCI), second-generation CC (CCII),
and third-generation CC, and 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, and
extra X CCCII. A number of circuits for instance simulated inductors, oscillators,
rectifiers, filters, etc. are investigated.
Chapter 9 introduces
back operational amplier, operational transresistance amplioat-
ing nullor, operational transconductance ampli
buffered amplier, voltage differencing buffer amplier, current differencing buff-
ered amplier, current amplier, cur-
rent differencing transconductance ampli
transconductance amplier, and current operational amplier. Simulated inductors
are generally given as application examples for these active devices.
