Three nouvelle impedance scalers are introduced in this work.

The first proposal is realized using analogically tunable current mirrors which gives the possibility to have more precision despite of the tuning is not completely linear. This circuit has a programming range up to two decades due to a parasitic zero which appears in 3MHz. Such disadvantage is improved in the second proposal which reaches 4 tuning decades and consumes little current because it uses high resistive elements which are tunable electronically by analogic voltages and which tuning is not linear. The non-linearity is improved by the third proposal which uses two second generation current conveyors (CCII-) with negative feedback. These circuits have the advantage of being tuned digitally, which makes them easy to tune but reduces the possibility of tuning to discrete values. The realizations presented in this document which use the CCII- is tuned with 4 bits which leads to a multiplication factor up to 15.

Two nouvelle class-AB CCII- are presented in this work. Both designs are biased with a current of 5uA and can drive currents up to 1mA. The first design uses a current comparator to activate the class-B of the voltage follower and the second design uses adaptive biasing. The first proposal has an error lower than 8mV in a range of -1.2V to 2.2V and the second proposal shows an error lower than 30mV in a range of 0 to 2.2V. Related to the current copy from X to Z terminal, the first proposal has an error lower than 50uA in a range of -600uA to 550uA and the second proposal has an error lower than 50uA in a range of -1mA to 1mA. Both show low impedances in the X terminal and high impedance in the Y terminal. The AC analysis shows that both CCII- are functional up to a frequency of 11MHz for voltage and 5MHz for current. In this analysis it is possible to observe a parasitic zero in high frequencies (13MHz) in the first proposal.
