Abstract: A time-to-voltage converter (TVC) that can include a timer integrated circuit (IC), and a charging circuit including a constant current source and a capacitor connected in series. The capacitor can be connected to a discharge pin of the timer IC.

Abstract: The floating memristor emulator is based on a circuit implementation that uses grounded capacitors and CFOAs in addition to combinations of diodes and resistors to provide the required nonlinearity and time constants. This circuit results in low power consumption, cost reduction and ease of implementation because it avoids the use of multipliers, ADCs and RDACs. The present circuit is used in an FM demodulator, which exploits the frequency-dependence of the memristance. Successful use in the FM demodulator confirmed the functionality of the present floating memristor emulator circuit.

A Tanner Tspice simulator is used to confirm the functionality of the design in 0.13 pm CMOS Technology. The circuit operates from a ±0.75 supply voltage. Simulation results indicate that the multiplication factor is large compared to existing designs.

Abstract: The current-feedback operational amplifier-based sinusoidal oscillator circuit includes a pair of CFOAs connected to each other using five resistors and two capacitors. The condition and the frequency of oscillation are fully coupled, and thus none of them can be controlled without disturbing the other. The oscillator circuit provides a high impedance output current and two low impedance output voltages.

Abstract: The logarithmic and exponential function generator for analog signal processing is implemented with CMOS circuits operating in current mode and includes current mirrors connected to a square root function circuit and two current amplifiers. A third current amplifier utilizes a constant current input. The outputs of the current amplifiers are combined to provide the logarithmic and exponential functions.

Abstract: The current-mode folding amplifier is a current-mode saw-tooth folding amplifier having a minimal number of current mirrors in the signal path from input to output. This minimizes the delays imposed by current mirrors on the speed of the amplifier. The amplifier has a full scale delay of 5.9 ns. The operation of the amplifier is verified in simulation using LFoundry 150 nm process in Cadence Tools.

Abstract: The continuous-level memristor emulator is a circuit that uses off-the-shelf components to emulate a memristor. The circuit uses two current-feedback operational-amplifiers (CFOAs) and uses an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA)-based circuit in place of a diode resistive network to provide a continuous level of memristance instead of two binary states. The OTA is forced to work in its nonlinear region by the voltage VDC applied to its positive input terminal. Thus, the transfer function of the OTA-based circuit will be a nonlinear function. Experimental testing shows that the continuous-level memristor emulator is operational as a memristor, and the emulator may be used, e.g., in place of a memristor in a multivibrator circuit.

Abstract: A voltage or current controlled current-feedback operational-amplifier based multivibrator provides oscillation based on two current feedback operational amplifiers, three resistors and one grounded capacitor. The multivibrator can achieve almost constant frequency of oscillation and its duty cycle can be adjusted by a control voltage or a control current. The multivibrator can be used for generating pulse-width modulated signals.
