Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of the second generation of voltage conveyors (VCs) and their applications. second generation voltage conveyor is also known as VCII, is a fundamental building block in analog signal processing circuits. Voltage conveyors are widely used in various applications such as analog filters, oscillators, amplifiers, and analog-to-digital converters. The second generation of VCs introduces significant improvements in performance, power efficiency, and integration capabilities compared to the previous generation. The second-generation voltage conveyor is a versatile and efficient circuit element that allows for the transmission of voltage signals with high linearity and low distortion. It offers enhanced voltage and current transfer characteristics, enabling more precise and accurate signal processing. Furthermore, the second-generation VCs feature reduced power consumption, making them suitable for low-power and portable applications. Overall, the second generation of voltage conveyors represents a significant advancement in analog signal processing circuits. Their improved performance, power efficiency, integration capabilities, and robustness make them a valuable component for a wide range of applications in the field of analog electronics. Future developments in this area are expected to further enhance the capabilities of voltage conveyors, opening up new possibilities for analog circuit design and signal processing. The properties of VCII can be used to implement applications like current follower, voltage follower, voltage to current converter, current to voltage converter, voltage differentiator, voltage integrator, etc. The work done during this project helps in realizing analog circuits based on second generation voltage conveyer circuit. The analog circuits which have been implemented using VCII in this project are voltage buffer, current buffer, current to voltage converter, voltage to current converter, voltage differentiator, voltage integrator and Inverting type Voltage amplifier.
