Abstract :
It is presented an improved translinear loop based first generation current conveyor (CCI). The proposed CCI is a modified class AB circuit with improved control of the quiescent current and low parasitic input resistance. Performances of the CCI are improved using PSO technique, mainly X-port resistance and current high cut-off frequency. Simulation results are performed to show reached performances.
