In this paper, a new BiCMOS CCII and CCCII,
capable of operate at ±0.5V and having wide dynamic range with
achieved bandwidth of 480MHz and 430MHz respectively have been
proposed. The structures have been found to be insensitive to the
threshold voltage variations. The proposed circuits are suitable for
implementation using 0.25μm BiCMOS technology. Pspice
simulations confirm the performance of the proposed structures.
