A new conveyor, which has been called the third generation current conveyor (CCIII), is introduced. It is defined from the general equations that describe the first and second generation current conveyors. As an example of its possibilities, the use of the circuit as a floating current sensing device is investigated. Its class AB implementation, obtained from two second generation current conveyors, is given. Some simulation results are also reported, the circuits being implemented from complementary bipolar arrays.

Inspec keywords: bipolar analogue integrated circuits; current conveyors; analogue processing circuits
