4.9.3.6 Second-Order MFB Low-Pass Filter
with an Extra Pole-Zero Pair
Figure 4-15 is a second-order multiple feedback low-
pass filter with Chip Select. Use the FilterLab
®
software
from Microchip to determine the R and C values for the
op amp A’s second-order filter. Op amp B can be used
to add a pole-zero pair using C
3
, R
6
and R
7
.

4.9.3.7 Second-Order Sallen-Key Low-Pass
Filter with an Extra Pole-Zero Pair
Figure 4-16 is a second-order, Sallen-Key low-pass
filter with Chip Select. Use the FilterLab
®
software from
Microchip to determine the R and C values for the op
amp A’s second-order filter. Op amp B can be used to
add a pole-zero pair using C
3
, R
5
and R
6
.

4.9.3.8 Capacitorless Second-Order
Low-Pass filter with
Chip Select
The low-pass filter shown in Figure 4-17 does not
require external capacitors and uses only three
external resistors; the op amp’s GBWP sets the corner
frequency. R
1
and R
2
are used to set the circuit gain
and R
3
is used to set the Q. To avoid gain peaking in
the frequency response, Q needs to be low (lower
values need to be selected for R
3
). Note that the
amplifier bandwidth varies greatly over temperature
and process. However, this configuration provides a
low cost solution for applications with high bandwidth
requirements.
