Design a lowpass active filter with a dc gain of 4 and a corner frequency of 500 Hz.
From Eq. (14.61), we find
ωc=RfCf1 (14.61)
ωc=2πfc=2π(500)=RfCf1 (14.12.1)
The dc gain is
H(0)=–RiRf=–4 (14.12.2)
We have two equations and three unknowns. If we select Cf=0.2 μF, then
Rf=2π(500)0.2 × 10−61=1.59 kΩ
and
Ri=4Rf=397.5 Ω
We use a 1.6-kΩ resistor for Rf and a 400-Ω resistor for Ri Figure 14.42 shows the filter.
