Electronically-controllable floating inductor using OMA with enhanced input dynamic range

Recently a new formulation for realizing a floating inductance (FI) using an OMA (operational mirrored amplifier), which takes into account the dominant pole of the op-amp employed in the OMA, without requiring any external capacitor was proposed. The proposition, however, suffered from a limited input-dynamic-range of operation owing to limited open-loop signal handling capability of the op-amp used. In this paper we propose an improved FI formulation with increased input signal handling capability. The electronically controllable floating inductance feature of the resulting circuit has been shown by replacing all the building blocks of the FI formulation by their CMOS counterparts. The workability of the proposed FI has been demonstrated by PSPICE simulations.
