CMOS inverters based positive type second generation current conveyor

A new versatile class AB low-voltage second generation current conveyor based on CMOS inverters operating in transconductance mode is presented in this letter. Against traditional design based on CCII+, the circuit is able to operate at low supply voltages and offers numerous advantages like class AB operation, large voltage and current swing, synthesis from digital inverters. Simulation results from a typical 0.35 μm CMOS process had demonstrated the circuit capability to operate at high frequency over wide voltage and wide current swings. The proposed circuit operation has been acted from measurements with the HEF4069UBP from Philips semiconductors [1].
