- Abstract
The realization of capacitance multiplier using the versatile active building block, namely voltage differencing differential difference amplifier (VDDDA) is presented in this paper. The realized capacitance multiplier is very simple consisting of one VDDDA, one MOS resistor ( R M) and one grounded capacitor which is attractive for integration. The multiplication factor (KC) of the realized circuit can be electronically controlled via the bias current ( I B) and control voltage ( V C) without the need of any matching condition of active and passive element. Moreover, the multiplication factor can be adjusted to be more or less than one. The performances of the presented capacitance multiplier are verified through Pspice simulation using CMOS VDDDA in 0.18 μ m TSMC technology with ± 0. 9 V power supplies. The multiplication factor is designed to be K C = 2 by choosing V C = 0. 8 5 V, I B = 5 0 μ A and C = 3 0 pF. The simulated multiplication factor is around 1.98. The simulated operational frequency range is around three decades (6.16 kHz–8.91 MHz). The performances of the proposed circuit are also verified by the experiment using VDDDA implemented from the commercial ICs, AD830 and LM13700 with ± 5 V power supplies. The experiment is conducted under the same multiplication factor ( K C = 2) as the simulation by choosing R M = 0. 2 7 k Ω (1% passive resistor), I B = 9 6. 2 μ A and C = 1 nF. The experimental multiplication factor is around 2.06. The experimental operational frequency range is around three decades (1 kHz–1.25 MHz). By adjusting the bias current from 17.67 μ A to 400 μ A, the experimental multiplication factor is controllable from 11.47 to 0.48. The percent deviation of the theoretical and experimental multiplication factor is lower than 5% when the value of bias current is greater than 39 μ A. These deviations stem from the effect of the parasitic capacitance and resistance in VDDDA. Moreover, the application example of the presented capacitance multiplier as the sinusoidal oscillator is presented. The performances of the presented oscillator verified via the experiment are well consistent with theoretical anticipation.
