Abstract

There is a great need for evolving electronically-controllable analog signal processing and signal generation circuits suitable for integration in both bipolar and CMOS technology such that their parameters of interest can be adjusted electronically by means of external DC bias currents or voltages. Traditionally, such circuits have been developed through the so-called operational transconductance amplifier-capacitor (OTA-C) or G m -C circuits. In bipolar OTAs, their transconductance is linearly tunable through an external DC bias current whereas in CMOS OTAs/transconductors, electronic tunability usually comes through an external DC bias voltage. With the realization of the translinear current conveyor which is based upon a mixed translinear cell (MTC) and exhibits an input resistance looking into terminal X which is electronically-controllable, there has been a surge of research activities in exploiting this property through the so-called second generation Controlled Current Conveyors (CCCII) in several applications in analog circuit design. The objective of this chapter is to present, in a tutorial review format, significant developments on electronically-controllable analog circuits using CCCIIs as active elements. Too, analog circuit designs using other building blocks of more recent origin, which employ MTC as an input stage and therefore, are closely related to CCCIIs, have also been taken up. Finally, directions of further work in this area have been pointed out.
