Abstract

The paper deals with a design and simulation of analogue electronic circuits, in which modern functional structures are used instead of traditional operational amplifiers. These structures contain of the commercially available current conveyors, which are the non–inverting positive current conveyors of the second generation. In this paper, the current conveyors are firstly theoretically described and then used for implementation of functional structures which are consequently demonstrated in several simulations of selected analogue electronic circuits using PSpice software.
