A series expansion method aided design of current mode second generation current conveyor based active control circuit

Current mode circuits are receiving considerable interest from engineering community due to their unique characteristics that are not found in their voltage mode counterparts. This paper presents a series method based design of a current conveyor active control circuit. An algorithm based on the principle of the series expansion of the pulse transfer function is employed for obtaining the transfer function of the controller. The controller is subsequently realized using the second generation current conveyors. The proposed methodology is used to design a CCII controller for a practical system, which is subsequently simulated using the AD844 IC’s in the NI’s Multisim simulation tool. Subsequently, the controller was designed and the comparisons are drawn between the experimental and simulation results in order to validate the approach.
