MO-CCCII-Based Single-Input Multi-Output (SIMO) Current-Mode Fractional-Order Universal and Shelving Filter

Abstract

This study introduces an innovative filter topology capable of providing simultaneous positive and negative gain outputs for one-fractional order LP, with high-pass, all-pass, and fractional-order shelving filter responses. The circuit, utilizing multi-output second-generation current-controlled conveyors, stands out as the first to deliver ten outputs, incorporating both integer and fractional-order filter responses, without requiring additional components. Its current-mode design simplifies the process, employing minimal active and grounded passive elements, making it appropriate for low-voltage/low-power applications. The filter utilizes fifth-order Oustaloup approximation and Foster type-I RC networks for fractional-order capacitors, providing enhanced control over the transition slope. PSpice simulations confirmed a 1 kHz cut-off, showcasing low power consumption, minimal noise, and a wide dynamic range, positioning the filter as suitable for sensors, control, and acoustic applications.
