The equation for breakpoint frequency in high and low active filters is derived as f = 1/(2πRC), where R represents resistance and C represents capacitance. The breakpoint frequency is defined as the point where the reactive impedance (j2πfC) equals the absolute value of the real impedance (R). This relationship is crucial for understanding filter behavior in electronic circuits.
PREREQUISITESElectronics students, circuit designers, and engineers involved in filter design and analysis will benefit from this discussion.
The breakpoint is the frequency where the reactive impedance j2\pi fCis equal in absolute value to the real impedance R.Midas_Touch said:How do I derive the equation of the breakpoint frequency f = 1/2*pi*R*C for a high active filter and a low active filter? Do I use Vin/Vout?
R= resistance
C = Capacitance
Vin = Voltage input
Vout = Voltage output
