Abstract

This paper reports realizations of current-mode quadrature sinusoidal oscillator using only two multiple-output current conveyors (first or second generation current conveyor CCI/CCII) and four passive components including two grounded capacitors. Therefore, the circuits employ minimum number of passive components to realize a second-order sinusoidal oscillator. Three types of circuits are reported depending on the condition of oscillation and frequency of oscillation (FO). The circuits have FO controllable by either resistor or capacitor and are suitable to be used as variable frequency oscillator for different applications. All the circuits provide two explicit quadrature current outputs from high output impedance terminals. PSPICE simulation results are included to verify the workability of the proposed circuits.
