The circuit in Figure 18 illustrates a linear-phase, 10 3-pole, 40 kHz low-pass filter using an OP275 as an inductance 9 simulator (gyrator). The circuit uses one OP275 (A2 and A3) for 8 the FDNR and one OP275 (A1 and A4) as an input buffer and bias current source for A3. Amplifier A4 is configured in a gain 7 of 2 to set the pass band magnitude response to 0 dB. The ben- 6 efits of this filter topology over classical approaches are that the 5 op amp used in the FDNR is not in the signal path and that the filter’s performance is relatively insensitive to component varia- 4 tions. Also, the configuration is such that large signal levels can BANDWIDTH – MHz 3 be handled without overloading any of the filter’s internal nodes. 2 As shown in Figure 19, the OP275’s symmetric slew rate and low distortion produce a clean, well behaved transient response. 10R10200400600800100095.3k C– pFLOADC12 –2200pF Figure 16.
