The S & K BPF’s peak gain and Q are independent of C; C can be used to set ωn, once the three resistors are chosen to find the desired Q and peak gain. This is not as easy to design as the S & K LPF and HPF filter.
Before closing this section on Sallen and Key controlled (voltage)-source quadratic filters, it should be noted that the designer must simulate the filter’s behavior with an accurate model of the op amp to be used in order to predict the filter’s behavior at high frequencies (near the op amp’s fT), as well as how the filter behaves with transient inputs.
7.2.3Biquad Active Filters
For many filter applications, the biquad architecture offers ease in design when two-pole filters are desired; independent setting of ωn, ξ and mid-band gain, Kvo, are possible with few components (Rs and Cs). There are two biquad AF architectures: one-loop and two-loop. One cost of the biquad AFs is that they use more than one op amp (three or four) to realize that which an S & K AF can do with one op amp. The benefit of the biquad architecture is ease in design. Figure 7.5 shows the oneand two-loop configurations.
The two-loop biquad’s transfer functions will be analyzed at the V3, V4, and V5 output nodes. The output at the V5 node is low pass; this can be shown by writing the transfer function using Mason’s rule (Northrop, 1990, Appendix A):
V |
(s) = |
(−R R1)(−R R2 )(−1 sR3C)(−1 sR3C) |
|
5 |
1− [(−1)(−R R2 )(−1 sR3C)+ (−1)(−1 sR3C)2 ] |
(7.23) |

This LPF transfer function can be simplified algebraically to time-constant form:

Next, consider the transfer function for V4. Note that the denominator is the same as for the V5 transfer function:

(−R R1)(−R R2 )(−1 sR3C) |

1− [(−1)(−R R2 )(−1 sR3C)+ (−1)(−1 sR3C)2 ] |

An interesting benefit from the biquad AF design is the ability to realize quadratic notch and all-pass configurations with the aid of another op amp adder. An ideal notch filter has a pair of conjugate zeros on the jω axis in the s-plane; its transfer function is of the form:
V |
(s) = |
|
s2 ω 2 |

(7.32) |

VS |
Clearly, when s = jωn, Vn/VS (jωn) = 0. Figure 7.6 illustrates how a biquad AF and an op amp adder can be used to realize a notch filter of the form modeled by Equation 7.32.
The biquad + op amp summer architecture can also be used to realize a quadratic all-pass filter in which a pair of complex-conjugate zeros is found in the right-half s-plane with positive real parts the same magnitude as the C-C poles in the left-half s-plane. The general form of this filter is:
