Abstract
This paper presents a low voltage CMOS second generation current conveyor with rail-to-rail input and output dynamic ranges. The circuit includes also a class AB output stage with high driving capability. A prototype has been fabricated using the 0.6-µm AMS technology. The circuit supplied with ±0.75V exhibits rail-to-rail capability and an input resistance at the X terminal of about 150Ω. Thanks to the class AB behavior, the current drive capability is better than 0.8mA, which is about 40 times the quiescent current in the output branch.
