A Compact Second Generation Current Conveyor(CCII)

A flipped current mirror and a flipped voltage follower suited to low-voltage and low power operation is applied to the design of current conveyors (CCII). A new topology (class-A )is proposed operating at 1.5v and featuring simplicity, compactness, low power consumption and bandwidths up to 100 MHz for a 0.5μm CMOS technology.
