Sallen-Key, Multiple Feedback, State Variable, and Biquad Filters
Advertisement
This page compares the Sallen-Key filter, multiple feedback filter, state variable filter, and Biquad filter. It discusses low-pass and high-pass equivalents of these second-order filter types, specifically covering:
- Sallen-Key low-pass filter
- Sallen-Key high-pass filter
- Multiple feedback low-pass filter
- Multiple feedback high-pass filter
- 2-pole state variable filter
- Standard 2-pole Biquad filter and its high-pass equivalent
All of these filters are based on operational amplifier (Op-Amp) configurations, using both inverting and non-inverting combinations.
Sallen-Key Low-Pass Filter
