Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to generally present possibilities of the current conveyor use in the well-known active electronic circuits. Current conveyors are able to substitute all known active elements. This claim is supported by the fact, that four basic functional block structures can be realized by use of current conveyors - voltage-controlled voltage source, voltage-controlled current source, current-controlled current source and current-controlled voltage source. The paper presents particular example of use of functional block structure with current conveyors in Wien bridge oscillator, where it successfully substitutes operational amplifier on the place of active element. Both theoretical formulae and design description are given. Finally, OrCAD PSpice simulation results are presented.
