with mixed transistor arrays LM3096 or using OPA660/OPA860) or has been
confirmed by SPICE simulations of the bipolar/CMOS/BiCMOS implementations
of the CCS or their variants, may provide the needed motivation for the circuit
designers to try these exotic CC-based circuit topologies as alternatives to the
conventional topologies using op-amps or OTAs, to performs the same functions.
In view of the tremendous potential of the CCCIIs for realizing a large variety of
electronically-controllable functions as well as significant advantages attainable by
numerous application circuits realizable with the new variants of CCs coupled with
the fact that almost all varieties of CCs are implementable in CMOS technology,
several of the topologies described in this monograph hold the potential of becom-
ing part of a complete system integrated on the same chip along with digital circuits.
Although a large variety of CCs proposed by numerous researchers have been
included in this monograph and in spite of the fact that universal CCs and universal
voltage conveyors have also been proposed, it would appear that a truly universal
CC building block from which all the reported varieties of CCs (over two dozen of
them) can be derived as special cases does not appear to have been discovered so far
and the creation of the same is still open to investigation.
Lastly, we may admit that although we have tried to be as comprehensive as
possible in collecting and citing all possible references (journal articles) on CCs, it
is quite possible that due to the enormity of the task, we might have omitted some
genuinely important references inadvertently . Such omissions are obviously not
intentional and the authors, therefore, request the aggrieved researchers to point out
the omission(s) so that they can be appropriately cited and acknowledged in the
subsequent edition of this monograph.
