Design of 3rd-Order Electronically Reconfigurable Filter by Inverse Chebyshev Approximation
Kříčka, T. ; Langhammer, L.
This paper deals with the proposal of an analog filter of the 3rd-order using Inverse-Follow-the-Leader-Feedback (IFLF) topology, which uses approximation of inverse Chebyshev. The filter is working in the current mode . The main advantage of this filter is an ability to electrically reconfigure its available transfer functions. The work focuses on the use of modern active elements. For design the filters was used transconductance amplifiers, second-generation current conveyors, current followers and current amplifiers . The function of the filter is verified by simulations in the OrCad PSpice software, with the ideal and behavior models of used active elements.

Design and analysis of electronically reconfigurable filtering structures
Kříčka, Tomáš ; Dvořák, Jan (referee) ; Langhammer, Lukáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the proposal of analog filters with the ability of the electronic reconfiguration. The main aim was to propose three fully electronically reconfigurable filters using different methods. The work focuses on the use of modern active elements that ensure the electronic reconfiguration. Specifically on operational transconductivity amplifiers, second-generation current conveyors and current amplifiers. The transfer functions are simulated in the Orcad PSpice software, at the ideal and behavioral level. Sensitivity and parasitic analysis is applied to the two proposed filtration structures. Both structures are made on printed circuit boards, which are measured and then their transfer functions are compared with the simulated functions.

Práce se zaměřuje na vývoj a výzkum v oblasti elektronicky rekonfigurovatelných přenosových struktur. Primárním cílem je návrh těchto struktur za užití moderních elektronicky řiditelných aktivních prvků. V práci je prezentováno množství elektronicky rekonfigurovatelných filtračních struktur, jež byly vytvořeny za užití různých návrhových metod. Důraz je dále kladen na možnost řídit některý z typických parametrů filtru pomocí řiditelných aktivních prvků. Práce dále obsahuje několik obvodových návrhů aktivních prvků či stavebních bloků s vhodně řešenou elektronickou řiditelností, tak, aby tyto prvky/bloky mohly být dále použity pro návrh elektronicky rekonfigurovatelných filtrů. Správnost návrhu jednotlivých zapojení je podpořena PSpice a Cadence simulacemi s modely na tranzistorové úrovni. Vybraná zapojení jsou dále realizována za pomocí dostupných aktivních prvků a podrobena experimentálnímu měření.

Utilizing Unconventional CMOS Techniques for Low Voltage Low Power Analog Circuits Design for Biomedical Applications
Bay Abo Dabbous, Salma ; Horský, Pavel (referee) ; Ďuračková, Daniela (referee) ; Khateb, Fabian (advisor)
Tato disertační práce se zabývá navržením nízkonapěťových, nízkopříkonových analogových obvodů, které používají nekonvenční techniky CMOS. Lékařská zařízení na bateriové napájení, jako systémy pro dlouhodobý fyziologický monitoring, přenosné systémy, implantovatelné systémy a systémy vhodné na nošení, musí být male a lehké. Kromě toho je nutné, aby byly tyto systémy vybaveny baterií s dlouhou životností. Z tohoto důvodu převládají v biomedicínských aplikacích tohoto typu nízkopříkonové integrované obvody. Nekonvenční techniky jako např. využití transistorů s řízeným substrátem (Bulk-Driven “BD”), s plovoucím hradlem (Floating-Gate “FG”), s kvazi plovoucím hradlem (Quasi-Floating-Gate “QFG”), s řízeným substrátem s plovoucím hradlem (Bulk-Driven Floating-Gate “BD-FG”) a s řízeným substrátem s kvazi plovoucím hradlem (Bulk-Driven Quasi-Floating-Gate “BD-QFG”), se v nedávné době ukázaly jako efektivní prostředek ke zjednodušení obvodového zapojení a ke snížení velikosti napájecího napětí směrem k prahovému napětí u tranzistorů MOS (MOST). V práci jsou podrobně představeny nejdůležitější charakteristiky nekonvenčních technik CMOS. Tyto techniky byly použity pro vytvoření nízko napěťových a nízko výkonových CMOS struktur u některých aktivních prvků, např. Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) založené na BD, FG, QFG, a BD-QFG techniky; Tunable Transconductor založený na BD MOST; Current Conveyor Transconductance Amplifier (CCTA) založený na BD-QFG MOST; Z Copy-Current Controlled-Current Differencing Buffered Amplifier (ZC-CC-CDBA) založený na BD MOST; Winner Take All (WTA) and Loser Take All (LTA) založený na BD MOST; Fully Balanced Four-Terminal Floating Nullor (FBFTFN) založený na BD-QFG technice. Za účelem ověření funkčnosti výše zmíněných struktur, byly tyto struktury použity v několika aplikacích. Výkon navržených aktivních prvků a příkladech aplikací je ověřován prostřednictvím simulačních programů PSpice či Cadence za použití technologie 0.18 m CMOS.

Design and implementation of behavioral block models of active elements
Lipčej, Martin ; Koton, Jaroslav (referee) ; Jeřábek, Jan (advisor)
Bachelor thesis is focused on electronically controlled modern active elements, their typical behavior and particularly on design of composite function blocks. General study of analog signal processing using active elements in current, or mixed mode is presented, including their ideal behavior. For selected basic active elements, in particular Operati- onal Transconductance Amplifier and Second-Generation Current Conveyor, were found suitable simulation models of commercially produced active elements with the aim of designing composite function blocks CCTA, VDTA and VDCC. The potential possibility of independent control of their parameters is also considered. The simulated circuits using behavioral models of real components are presented in the following chapters, including their manufacturer indicated properties and examples of parameter control. The thesis then presents the simulation results of all possible circuit variants of the three active function blocks. The main benefit of this project is the ge- neral introduction to current mode active elements, design of unconventional functional blocks using real components and the final evaluation of presented simulations, including comprarison with their theoretical behavior. The conclusion aims to summarize the most appropriate combination of components, including manufacturing of VDTA and VDCC.
