A Novel First-Order Current-Mode All-Pass Filter Using CDTA

This paper presents a new realization of a firstorder current-mode (CM) all-pass filter (APF) using the recently proposed modern active building block (ABB), namely the current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA). The CM APF is made using minimum number of components, namely a single CDTA and one grounded capacitor. The circuit does not use any external resistors and offers the advantages of current-tunable pole frequency, low input impedance and high output impedance. Non-ideal analysis and sensitivity analysis are provided and PSPICE simulation results are included to verify the workability of the circuit.
