This paper presents a triple-input and four-output type voltage-mode universal active filter based on three current-feedback operational amplifiers (CFOAs). The filter employs three CFOAs, two grounded capacitors, and six resistors. The filter structure has three high-input and three low-output impedances that simultaneously provide band-reject, high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filtering functions with single-input and four-output type and also implements an all-pass filtering function by connecting three input signals to one input without the use of voltage inverters or switches.

This paper introduces two new high-input impedance electronically tunable voltage-mode (VM) multifunction second-order architectures with band-pass (BP), low-pass (LP), and high-pass (HP) filters. Both proposed architectures have one input and five outputs, implemented employing three commercial LT1228 integrated circuits (ICs), two grounded capacitors, and five resistors. Both proposed architectures also feature one high-impedance input port and three low-impedance output ports for easy connection to other VM configurations without the need for VM buffers.

This paper presents four new designs for a first-order voltage-mode (VM) all-pass filter (APF) circuit based on two single-output positive differential voltage current conveyors (DVCCs). The first two proposed VMAPFs with unity-gain, high-input (HI) impedance and low-output (LO) impedance use two DVCCs, a grounded capacitor, and a grounded resistor. The last two proposed first-order VMAPFs with HI impedance and variable-gain control are two resistors added to each of the first two VMAPFs.

This research introduces a new multifunction biquad filter based on voltage mode (VM) current-feedback operational amplifier (CFOA) and a fully uncoupled quadrature oscillator (QO) based on the proposed VM multifunction biquad filter. The proposed VM multifunction biquad filter has high impedance to the input voltage signal, and uses three CFOAs as active components, while using four resistors and two grounded capacitors as passive components. The VM CFOA-based multifunction biquad filter realizes band-reject, band-pass, and low-pass transfer functions at high-input impedance node simultaneously, which has the feature of easy cascading in VM operation without the need for additional voltage buffers.

This paper presents a versatile tunable current-mode universal biquadratic filter with four-input and three-output employing only two multioutput differential voltage current conveyors (MO-DVCCs), two grounded capacitors, and a well-known method for replacement of three grounded resistors by MOSFET-based electronic resistors. The proposed configuration exhibits high-output impedance which is important for easy cascading in the current-mode operations. The proposed circuit can be used as either a two-input three-output circuit or a three-input single-output circuit.

A novel voltage-mode multifunction biquadratic filter with one input and six outputs is presented. The proposed circuit can realize inverting and noninverting low-pass, bandpass, and high-pass filters, simultaneously, by using two inverting second-generation current conveyors (ICCIIs), two grounded capacitors, and four resistors. Moreover, the proposed circuit offers the following attractive advantages: no requirements for component matching conditions, the use of only grounded capacitors, and low active and passive sensitivities.
