Thee filter have revolutionized the modern day ignal proceing and have replaced their voltage mode counterpart in everal of application. Moreover filter which could provide imultaneou realization of the baic filter function have proved themelve ueful in variou application which include touch-tone telephone tone decoder, phae-locked loop FM tereo demodulator and croover network ued in a threeway high-fidelity loudpeaker. With the inception of Current Conveyor (CC), the filter deign ha reached a new height and variou variant of CC have alo gained attraction [1-10]. Variou digitally controlled filter have been propoed and realized in the recent time. n [11] H.P. Chen and S.S. Shen preented a DVCC baed Univeral capacitor grounded voltage mode filter which realized all the five generic filter repone imultaneouly. n [12] H. P.

The output current follow the input current direction with both current flowing either into or out of the device. The CMOS implementation of DVCC i a hown in Figure 2. RCR 1 1 2 Q = (6) RRC 3 4 2 We can ee that lowpa, bandpa and highpa function can be imultaneouly realized without changing the topology. n imulation, uing PSPCE the DVCC wa realized by the CMOS implementation hown in Figure 2 uing TSMC 0.25-µm proce parameter.

The modified terminal characteritic for the ame are a follow Y1 0 0 0 0 0 VY1 Y2 0 0 0 0 0 VY2 V X = 1 1 0 0 0 X (7) Z+ 0 0 k 0 0 VZ+ Z 0 0 k 0 0 V Z Where: Z k = (8) X For obtaining the digital control in the DVCC current umming network (CSN) are employed at the Z (Z+ and Z-) terminal for controlling the current tranfer gain parameter k. The gain parameter k how a variation from 1 to (2 n 1), where n i the number of tranitor array. The modified circuit of DVCC with the tranitor array i a hown in Figure 5. The CSN conit of n tranitor pair, the apect ratio of whoe PMOS and NMOS tranitor repectively are given by: W i W = 2 (9) L L i 9 W i W = 2 (10) L i L 12 Furthermore, the current at the Z terminal which i aumed to be flowing out of the DC-DVCC, can be expreed by: z n 1 i i2 ( 9 12 ) (11) = d i= 0 Therefore, the propoed DC-DVCC provide a current tranfer gain, k equal to: X n i= 1 i d 2 ( ) 0 ( ) z k = = = (12) i 9 12 n 1 i d 2 i= 0 i 9 12 Where d i are the bit applied to the i-th branch in the CSN. Now the current flow in a particular branch i enabled or diabled depending upon whether d i i a logic 1 or logic 0 [16]. The reonant frequency i now defined a αβγ = (14) A could be clearly een from (14) the reonant frequency of the Bandpa filter can be controlled by changing the value of the gain parameter α, β and γ. Thi variation will not require any change in the value of the paive component. n the analyi that follow it i aumed that if the DVCC i replaced by DC-DVCC the gain parameter for repective block take the value k, however if the DVCC i retained, the gain parameter attain value equal to 1. Figure 5. CMOS realization of the DC- DVCC having gain k Replacing the firt block (correponding to α) by DC- DVCC, therefore for thi configuration we have α= k and β=γ= 1, hence the equation for the band-pa repone and the expreion for the reonant frequency are repectively given by: k RRC 2 3 1 1 kr + k + R C R R R C C N 2 1 2 1 (15) k = (16) The configuration i illutrated in Figure 6. 4. Comparative Study of Variation in Bandpa Filter Reonant Frequency n thi ection the dicuion i retricted to the variation in reonant frequency of Band Pa filter only. The circuit hown in Figure 3 wa modified by replacing a DVCC block with a DC-DVCC block, one by one o that change in relationhip between the reonant frequency and control word can be oberved. Each block i aigned an individual gain α, β and γ repectively. The analyi i done and the following expreion wa obtained for the band pa repone. αβ RRC 2 3 1 (13) N 2 1 αβγ + α + Figure 6.

164 American Journal of Electrical and Electronic Engineering 5. Concluion n thi paper, a digitally programmable current mode K.H.N. biquad filter baed on three DVCC wa preented. Digital control ha been achieved with the introduction of CSN and variation of 3-bit digital control word (k). Now thi circuit can be tuned for even different frequencie for a particular deign and variation. Thi multi frequency tenability within the ame deign i the contribution for thi circuit The circuit wa configured in three different way to provide different relation between reonant frequency of the Bandpa filter and the digital control word (k). The variation obtained were dependent upon the number of DC-DVCC ued. When a ingle DVCC wa replaced with a DC-DVCC quare root relation between reonant frequency and k wa obtained, thi variation became linear on replacement of econd DVCC block and when the final block wa replaced the reonant frequency became directly proportional to k 3/2. The obervation upport the fact that the reonant frequency of Bandpa filter i directly proportional to k a/2, where a i the number of DVCC replaced with DC-DVCC. Hence we obtained a circuit whoe variation (relationhip) of reonant frequency can be controlled. PSPCE imulation were carried out to verify the working of the digitally controlled K.H.N.
