The frequency response bode plot above, is basically the same as that for a 1st-order filter. The Sallen-Key filter design is one of the most widely known and popular 2nd order filter designs, requiring only a single operational amplifier for the gain control and four passive RC components to accomplish the tuning. All these types of filter designs are available as either: low pass filter, high pass filter, band pass filter and band stop (notch) filter configurations, and being second order filters, all have a 40-dB-per-decade roll-off. Most designs of second order filters are generally named after their inventor with the most common filter types being: Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel and Sallen-Key. Then we can define second order filters as simply being: “two 1st-order filters cascaded together with amplification”. In this analogue filters section tutorials we have looked at both passive and active filter designs and have seen that first order filters can be easily converted into second order filters simply by using an additional RC network within the input or feedback path. Should I now expand the Thévenin expression, first it's likely that I make mistakes while expanding the equations but, second, I will need more time to format the expression in a nice low-entropy format.Second Order Filters which are also referred to as VCVS filters, because the op-amp is used as a Voltage Controlled Voltage Source amplifier, are another important type of active filter design because along with the active first order RC filters we looked at previously, higher order filter circuits can be designed using them.
If I count the time needed to determine the expression using FACTs, it does not exceed a few minutes. As shown in the below plots, all three expressions deliver the exact same response: As I said, should you spot a small deviation, then review the individual sketches and fix the guilty one without restarting from scratch as any other analysis would require:īecause the roots are real in this circuit (the quality factor is low), you can try to model the transfer function with two cascaded poles and a zero.
I usually build a high-entropy expression obtained with Thévenin in this case and make sure both answers are rigorously similar in magnitude and phase. This is it, we have everything to be happy and a Mathcad sheet can check these results.
The methods relies on determining the time constants when the stimulus - \$V_\$.
However, and it could be the issue for an exam, I am not sure if the person who reviews your contribution will recognize it as a valid method as he/she perhaps expects the classical KVL/KCL approach. If you want to be fast and be efficient to determine transfer functions, there is no other way than resorting to the fast analytical circuits techniques or FACTs that I describe in my book on the subject.
