Op-Amp Active Filter and Oscillators

Active filters use op-amps and other active components like transistors, while passive filters use only passive components like resistors, capacitors, and inductors. The document discusses different types of active filter circuits including low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-reject, resonant, and notch filters, which are classified based on what frequency ranges of signals they allow or attenuate. It also briefly covers the advantages of passive filters being stable with fewer components but having disadvantages like voltage gain under 1 and potentially large, costly component values that can cause loading effects.

Op-amp active filter and oscillators

Filter circuits are used to eliminate or attenuate unwanted frequency signals. As the meaning of the term 'filter' implies, electronic filter circuits filter out unwanted signals. Filter circuits are classified as: 1. Active Filters 2. Passive Filters ACTIVE FILTERS Filter circuits using active components like op-amps are called active filters. In active filter circuits, active elements like BJTs, ICs are used. In passive filter circuits passive components like R, L, and C are used. Network synthesis is the term applied to the systematic method of specifying components in a circuit, so that the circuits output is a prescribed function of its input function of frequency. Types of Active Filter Circuits 1. Low pass filter circuit Allows low frequency signals only. Attenuates higher frequency signals (LPF) beyond the cut-off frequency fc 2. High pass filter (HPF) 3. Band pass filter (BPF) Allows higher frequency signals beyond cut-off frequency fc. Allows signals in a particular frequency range called band width.

4. Band reject or notch Attenuates in a particular frequency range. filter (BRF) 5. Resonant filters 6. Notch filters Allows any one particular frequency component (signal) f0. Alternates one particular frequency component fr

PASSIVE FILTERS Advantages of Passive Filter Circuits 1. The circuts are stable. Stability is the desirable characteristic of electronic circuits. 2. Less number of components and simple circuits. Disadvantages of Passive Filter Circuits 1. Voltage gain is less than 1. 2. Large values of inductors (L), capacitors (C) and resistors (R) may be needed, (which are costly). To reduce loading effect, such values of R, L and C are to be chosen. 3. Costly 4. Loading effect will be there.
