SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the cut-off frequency for a Low Pass Filter using two operational amplifiers (op-amps). The formula provided is fc = 1/(2∏(fn)RC), where fn represents the frequency response of each op-amp, and R and C are the resistance and capacitance values, respectively. Participants clarify that each op-amp's parameters should be calculated separately, and then the results can be combined to determine the overall cut-off frequency of the filter. A circuit diagram is suggested for better visualization of the setup.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Low Pass Filter design principles
  • Familiarity with operational amplifiers (op-amps)
  • Knowledge of the formula for cut-off frequency (fc = 1/(2∏(fn)RC))
  • Basic circuit diagram interpretation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the impact of different op-amp frequency responses on filter performance
  • Learn about combining multiple filter stages in circuit design
  • Explore simulation tools like LTspice for visualizing filter behavior
  • Study advanced filter design techniques, such as Sallen-Key topology
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, circuit designers, and students studying signal processing who are interested in designing and analyzing Low Pass Filters with multiple op-amps.

How do I work out the cut-off (corner) frequency of a Low Pass Filter?

I know the equation is fc = 1/(2∏(fn)RC)

but I have 2 op-amps in the filter both with different fn's, R's and C's

is it simply calculate each part separately and add the 2 values together?

Cheers
