Current-mode Universal Filter using Fin type Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) Transistor-Based Multioutput Current Controlled Current Conveyor Transconductance Amplifiers

Abstract

For single digit nanometric dimensions, the fin type Field Effect Transistor (FinFET) transistor is a promising technology. FinFETs are utilized to reduce power consumption and boost performance since the two gate voltages may be regulated independently or dependently. This work investigates the design of multioutput current-controlled current conveyor transconductance amplifiers, or M.O.C.C.C.C.T.A.s. to carry out all standard operations, such as LP, HP, BS, BP, and AP. One of the circuit's features is its capacity to change the pole frequency electrically and independently by applying the proper input bias currents based on the quality factor. There are merely two grounded capacitors and two M.O.C.C.C.C.T.A.s in the simple circuit design. The recommended design is perfect for further development into an integrated circuit because it only contains grounded components and does not require any external resistors. The FinFET 7 nm PTM-MG model is used in LT-spice to simulate the suggested active filter circuit. The obtained findings are in good agreement with the theoretical prediction.
