Abstract

In this paper, a CMOS low-voltage second generation balanced output current conveyor (BOCCII) introduced. The BOCCII has provided an n-channel differential pairs voltage follower stage instead of complementary differential pairs to provide a rail-to-rail input/output operation. A high driving current capability ensured by using a class AB topology output stage. For the proposed BOCCII, the static power consumption is 5.22mW, the open circuit input-referred noise voltage is 5μV/√Hz, THD is -53dB, and IM3 is -42.7dB. PSpice simulations for the new BOCCII are given using 0.35μm CMOS technology and ±1V supply voltage to verify the analytical results.
