Abstract :
In this paper we present the synthesis of voltage followers (VF)and their application to the design of switched current memory cells. VFs are designed using the nullor concept.. We also give an application where we use the designed cells to implement a second order sigma delta modulator. Spice simulations are presented to show functionality of the SI cells and obtained results.
