A new low-voltage low-power class-AB second generation voltage conveyor (VCII) is presented. The proposed circuit is based on an improved class-AB flipped voltage follower (FVF) designed by adding a simple negative feedback loop to the conventional class-AB circuit. This modification ensures high current drive capability of at least 2 mA for both falling and rising edges of input signal along with very low 2-
