Abstract In this paper, a new voltage–mode first order all-pass filter using minimum active and passive components is presented. The proposed circuit only employs one differential difference current conveyors (DDCCs), one grounded capacitor and one resistor and offers the following advantages: the use of only grounded capacitor which is attractive for integrated circuit implementation, low active and passive sensitivities and no requirements for component matching conditions. HSPICE simulation results that verify the theoretical analyses are included.
