The discussion revolves around the design of an RC bandpass filter specifically intended to pass a frequency of 60Hz. Participants are exploring the necessary components, such as capacitors and resistors, and discussing the type of filter suitable for this application, including considerations for active versus passive designs and the context of use in power supply applications.
Participants express differing views on the appropriateness of active versus passive filters for the intended application, indicating a lack of consensus on the best approach. Questions about specific requirements and design parameters remain unresolved.
Participants mention various design considerations, such as the need for an integrated circuit and the implications of power supply requirements, which may affect the choice of filter type. The discussion does not resolve the technical specifications or assumptions regarding the filter design.
Idea04 said:I'm wanting to build a RC bandpass filter to pass only 60Hz. But I do not know what capacitors and resistors to use. Can anyone tell me what capacitor and resistors I should use?
Idea04 said:I'm looking for a butterworth response, bandwidth to be as close as possible to 60Hz, active filter and it is for power supply. I have a lot of frequencies all on one line and I want to get rid of the unwanted frequencies. I was looking at different types of filters like the switched capacitor filter but it requires a separate supply voltage to operate. And the op-amp requires external parts. What I am looking for is an intergrated circuit that doesn't require a separate supply voltage to operate. And is programed to have a passband of 60Hz.
