Abstract
In this paper, a new voltage-mode all-pass filter topology based on single current
operational amplifier (COA) and the implementation of COA by using current conveyors are
presented. The proposed topology employs three admittances and single active circuit
element. COA implementation by using current conveyor blocks as sub-circuit contributes to
workability of the COA employing circuits by using commercially available integrated
circuits that can be employed as current conveyor. The validity of the proposed filter is
verified by PSPICE simulation programme by using the MOSIS 0.35 micron CMOS process
parameters. The simulation results agree well with the theoretical analysis and the circuit
achieve a good total harmonic distortion (THD) performance.
