To synthesize admittance converter circuits employing the second generation current control conveyor (CCCII), based on the nodal admittance matrix (NAM) of the admittance converter, 16 pathological models of the positive and negative admittance converters are respectively synthesized by means of NAM expansion. The synthesized positive and negative admittance converters, using CCCIIs, have 16 different forms, respectively. These converters employ canonic number of components and are easy for the integrated circuit realization. Their parameters can be electronically tuned through tuning bias currents of CCCIIs. Finally, in order to verify the validity of the derived converters, the paper-and-pencil analyses are introduced. Moreover, a negative resistance oscillator is designed by employing a negative admittance converter and a positive admittance converter. The Multisim simulation results are in good agreement with the synthesis approach.
