APPLICATION CIRCUITS

Active Filtering with the THS4281

High-performance active filtering with the THS4281 is

achievable due to the amplifier's good slew rate, wide

bandwidth,

and

voltage-feedback

architecture.

Several options are available for high-pass, low-pass,

bandpass, and bandstop filters of varying orders.

Filters can be quite complex and time consuming to

design. Several books and application reports are

available to help design active filters. But, to help

simplify the process and minimize the chance of

miscalculations, Texas Instruments has developed a

filter design program called FilterPro™. FilterPro is

available for download at no cost from TI's web site

Butterworth Filter, Gain = 2 V/V

The two most common low-pass filter circuits used

are the Sallen-Key filter and the Multiple Feedback

(MFB) – aka Rauch filter. FilterPro was used to

determine a 2-pole Butterworth response filter with a

corner (–3-dB) frequency of 100 kHz, which is shown

in Figure 73 and Figure 74. One of the advantages of

the MFB filter, a much better high-frequency rejection,

is clearly shown in the response shown in Figure 75.

This is due to the inherent R-C filter to ground being

the first elements in the design of the MFB filter. The

Sallen-Key design also has an R-C filter, but the

capacitor connects directly to the output. At very high

frequencies, where the amplifier's access loop gain is

decreasing, the ability of the amplifier to reject high

frequencies is severely reduced and allows the

high-frequency signals to pass through the system.

One other advantage of the MFB filter is the reduced

when using real-world components where capacitors

Driving Capacitive Loads

One of the most demanding, and yet common, load

conditions for an op amp is capacitive loading. Often,

the capacitive load is the input of an A/D converter,

including additional external capacitance, which may

effective solution is to isolate the capacitive load from

the feedback loop by inserting a small series isolation

resistor (for example, R(ISO) = 100 Ω for CLOAD = 10

pF to R(ISO) = 10 Ω for CLOAD = 1000 pF) between the

amplifier output and the capacitive load.
