Figure 24 shows the schematic for the dual-supply, multiple feedback filter circuit configuration.
The MFB topology (sometimes called infinite gain or Rauch) is often preferred due to low sensitivity to component variations. The MFB topology creates an inverting second-order stage. This inversion may, or may not, be a concern in the filter application.
The dual-supply, MFB filter circuit 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 5 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 | C2 | R3 | R4 | C5 |
High Pass | C1 | R2 | C3 | C4 | R5 |
Band Pass | R1 | R2 | C3 | C4 | R5 |
