Figure 24 shows the schematic for the dual-supply, multiple feedback filter circuit configuration.
Figure 24. Dual-Supply, Multiple Feedback Filter Schematic The MFB topology (sometimes called infinite gain or Rauch) is often preferred due to low sensitivity to component variations. The MFB topology creates an inverting second-order stage. This inversion may, or may not, be a concern in the filter application.
The dual-supply, MFB filter circuit can be configured as a low-pass filter, high-pass filter, or band-pass filter based on the component selection of Z1 through Z5. Table 5 displays the type of passive component that should be chosen for Z1 through Z5 for each filter configuration.
| Pass-Band
Filter Type |
Type of Component (Z1) | Type of Component (Z2) | Type of Component (Z3) | Type of Component (Z4) | Type of Component (Z5) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low Pass | R1 | C2 | R3 | R4 | C5 |
| High Pass | C1 | R2 | C3 | C4 | R5 |
| Band Pass | R1 | R2 | C3 | C4 | R5 |
