Figure 12 shows the schematic for the single-supply, Sallen-Key filter circuit configuration.
Sallen-Key is one of the most commonly applied active filter topologies. The Sallen-Key is a non-inverting, voltage-controlled, voltage-source (VCVS) able to attain larger Qs with a stable response than other filter topologies. Because Sallen-Key is non-inverting, it might be preferable over the MFB topology.
The single-supply, Sallen-Key filter can be configured as a low-pass filter, high-pass filter, or band-pass filter based on the component selection of Z1 through Z5. Table 4 displays the type of passive component that should be chosen for Z1 through Z5 for each filter configuration.
Pass-Band
Filter Type |
Type of Component (Z1) | Type of Component (Z2) | Type of Component (Z3) | Type of Component (Z4) | Type of Component (Z5) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Low Pass | R1 | R2 | C3 | C4 | Not populated |
High Pass | C1 | C2 | R3 | R4 | Not populated |
Band Pass | R1 | C2 | R3 | R4 | C5 |
