Operational floating current conveyor: characteristics, modelling and experimental results

A five-port general purpose analogue building block, termed as an operational floating current conveyor (OFCC), is described. The OFCC combines the features of a current feedback (CFB) operational amplifier, second generation current conveyor and operational floating conveyor (OFC). A simple implementation scheme of the OFCC is described and its terminal operational characteristics are used to yield a working model. The OFCC is then used as a single block to realize the current conveyors (CCII+ and CCII-). Experimental results are presented and show good behavioral agreement with simulation results.
