Abstract
The present invention relates to a capacitance multiplier topology suitable for both positive and negative capacitance multiplication having a minimum configuration consisting of a current feedback amplifier (CFOA), two resistors and a reference capacitor, with each C-multiplier having a respective capacitance amplification constant k which is externally adjustable. Such a capacitance multiplier has less parasitic components, occupies a smaller chip area with higher simulated capacitance value.
