AD825
Second Order Low-Pass Filter
A second order Butterworth low-pass filter can be implemented
using the AD825 as shown in Figure 28. The extremely low bias
currents of the AD825 allow the use of large resistor values, and
consequently small capacitor values, without concern for devel-
oping large offset errors. Low current noise is another factor in
permitting the use of large resistors without having to worry
about the resultant voltage noise.
With the values shown, the corner frequency will be 1 MHz.
The equations for component selection are shown below. Note
that the noninverting input (and the inverting input) has an
input capacitance of 6 pF. As a result, the calculated value of
C1 (12 pF) is reduced to 6 pF.
