Simulated inductor

Posted on Aug 22, 2012

With a constant current excitation, the voltage dropped across an inductance in-(in creases with frequency. Thus, an active device whose output increases with frequency can be characterized as an inductance. The circuit yields such a response with the effective inductance being equal to: L = R1R2C. The Q of this inductance depends upon Rl being equal to R2

At the same time, however, the positive and negative feedback paths of the amplifier are equal leading to the distinct possibility of instability at high frequencies. Rl should, therefore, always be slightly smaller than R2 to assure stable operation.
