Practical implementation of CCTA based on commercial CCII and OTA

This article presents a basic current-mode building block for analog signal processing, namely current conveyor transconductance amplifier (CCTA) using the commercially available ICs. The performances are examined through PSPICE simulations and experiment, displaying usabilities of the new active element. The description includes some examples as a voltage-mode universal biquad filter, a grounded inductance, a current-mode multiplier and oscillator. They occupy only a single CCTA.
