AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating gain and cutoff frequency in a switched capacitor circuit, identified as a low pass filter with capacitors and resistors. The user references a formula for equivalent resistance (Req = 1/C*f) and questions whether to use separate capacitors and frequency switches for calculations. They propose that the low frequency gain can be expressed as A = -R2/R1, where R2 and R1 are derived from the equivalent resistances. Additionally, they suggest the cutoff frequency formula as fo = 1/2*pi*R2*C1. The user seeks confirmation of their calculations and expresses urgency due to an impending assignment deadline.

To start: I believe this is a low pass filter gain equivalent circuit, with Capacitor in feedback with two resistors.

To find the resistors I wasnt really sure but I found something in my textbook Req = 1/C*f, so could I use the two separate capacitors and frequency switches to calculate the equivalent resistances?

So the low frequency gain would be A = -R2/R1, where R2 and R1 would be the equivalent resistances based on the capacitors and frequency.

And fo = 1/2*pi*R2*C1 ??

Could someone please check this logic over and get back to me. My assignment is due SOON!
