This configuration shows the least dependence of filter performance on the performance of the op amp
because the op amp is configured as an amplifier, as opposed to an integrator, which minimizes the
gain-bandwidth requirements of the op amp. Another advantage of this configuration is that the ratio of
the largest resistor value to the smallest resistor value, and the ratio of the largest capacitor value to
the smallest capacitor value (component spread) are low, which is beneficial for manufacturability.
While the Sallen-Key filter is widely used, a serious drawback is that the filter is not easily tuned, due
to interaction of the component values on F0 and Q. Another limitation is the relatively low maximum Q
value obtainable.
The transfer function of circuit shown in figure 4.12 yields:
Ao
A( s) (4.11)
1 wc C1 ( R1 R2 ) (1 A0 ) R1C 2 s wc2 R1 R2 C1C 2 s 2
For the unity-gain circuit in Figure 4.12 (Ao=1), the transfer function simplifies to:
1
A( s )
1 wc C1 ( R1 R2 ) s wc2 R1 R2 C1C 2 s 2 (4.12)
The coefficient comparison between this transfer function yields:
Ao 1
a1 wc C1 ( R1 R2 )
b1 wc2 R1 R2 C1C 2 (4.13)
Given C1 and C2, the resistor values for R1 and R2 are calculated through:
a1 1.4142 1.065
b1 1 1.9305
