Abstract :
This paper describes a new circuit topology based on duality of the well known voltage-mode Wheatstone bridge. This topology can implement ratiometric current measurement which is a vital aspect of current-mode instrumentation and signal processing. The theory of the proposed circuit is developed and its advantages and limitations are discussed. The new circuit (called AZKA cell) may be thought of as the current-mode alternative of traditional voltage-mode Wheatstone bridge. It presents the current-mode circuit designers and engineers their own relevant interface cell. The advantages of the new circuit are stated and some conditioning circuits for its output signal are proposed. Finally, a linearization circuit based on CCII+ is introduced.
