Abstract :
A novel CMOS negative impedance converter (NIC) circuit is presented. This configuration is based on a cascade of current and voltage followers with unity gains. The circuit simulations show that the NIC has a wide band impedance scaling property, and is suitable for realizing high-negative-valued passive components in IC fabrication.
