Abstract :
A new design for an impedance convertor using translinear elements is introduced. A custom integrated circuit for a gyrator can be implemented from it, using bipolar linear arrays. When the simulated impedance is an inductance, it can be used to design a second order current-mode filter with adjustable value for the Q-factor without affecting f0 and the gain. The effects of parasitic elements are studied. SPICE simulated results are given.
