New current-feedback amplifier-based universal biquadratic filter

A new universal biquadratic filter configuration using two current feedback amplifiers (CFA's) is presented. The proposed configuration can realize the second-order lowpass, bandpass, highpass, notch and allpass filters. Both the active and passive sensitivities are no more than unity. The natural frequency /spl omega//sub 0/ can be controlled by a grounded capacitor. The quality factor Q can also be independently controlled by a resistor. Moreover, the quality factor will be insensitive to the current tracking errors and output voltage tracking errors of the CFA's. Experimental results that confirm the theoretical analysis are obtained. The results are useful in analog filtering applications.<
