About this video
In this video, we will discuss the design of an active lowpass filter using Bessel, Butterworth, and Chebyshev 2 dB ripple responses. We will determine the required filter order for each response. Using the Sallen-Key filter circuits and the parameter scaling tables, we will calculate the component values for each design. We will work out our design step by step and verify our calculations using simulations in TINA-TI SPICE.
In this video, we take a deep dive into designing active low-pass filters using the three most widely used filter responses:
๐น Bessel โ for linear phase and minimal distortion
๐น Butterworth โ for a maximally flat frequency response
๐น Chebyshev (2 dB ripple) โ for sharper cutoff characteristics
We determine the required filter order for each response based on design specifications, and use Sallen-Key filter circuits along with parameter scaling tables to calculate the component values for each design.
๐What You'll Learn:
โ Filter response characteristics and comparisons
โ How to determine the filter order
โ Step-by-step component value calculations
โ Use of Sallen-Key active filter topology
โ Full design simulated and verified in TINA-TI SPICE
This video is perfect for students, electronics hobbyists, and engineers wanting to deepen their understanding of analog filter design.
