GENERAL DESCRIPTION  
The OP179 and OP279 are rail-to-rail, high output current,  
single-supply amplifiers. They are designed for low voltage  
applications that require either current or capacitive load drive  
capability. The OP179/OP279 can sink and source currents of  
±60 mA (typical) and are stable with capacitive loads to 10 nF.

Applications that benefit from the high output current of the  
OP179/OP279 include driving headphones, displays, transform-  
ers and power transistors. The powerful output is combined with a  
unique input stage that maintains very low distortion with  
wide common-mode range, even in single supply designs.  
Very good audio performance can be attained when using the  
OP179/OP279 in +5 volt systems. THD is below 0.01% with a  
600 load, and noise is a respectable 21 nV/Hz. Supply cur-  
rent is less than 3.5 mA per amplifier.  
The OP179/OP279 can be used as a buffer to provide much  
greater drive capability than can usually be provided by CMOS  
outputs. CMOS ASICs and DAC often have outputs that can  
swing to both the positive supply and ground, but cannot drive  
more than a few milliamps.  
The single OP179 is available in the 5-lead SOT-23-5 package.  
It is specified over the industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature  
range.  
Bandwidth is typically 5 MHz and the slew rate is 3 V/µs, mak-  
ing these amplifiers well suited for single supply applications  
that require audio bandwidths when used in high gain configu-  
rations. Operation is guaranteed from voltages as low as 4.5 V,  
up to 12 V.  
The OP279 is available in 8-lead plastic DIP, TSSOP and  
SO-8 surface mount packages. They are specified over the  
industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

THEORY OF OPERATION  
POS  
The OP179/OP279 is the latest entry in Analog Devices’ ex-  
panding family of single-supply devices, designed for the multi-  
media and telecom marketplaces. It is a high output current  
drive, rail-to-rail input /output operational amplifier, powered  
from a single +5 V supply. It is also intended for other low  
supply voltage applications where low distortion and high out-  
put current drive are needed. To combine the attributes of high  
output current and low distortion in rail-to-rail input/output  
operation, novel circuit design techniques are used.

IN–  
For example, Figure 1 illustrates a simplified equivalent circuit  
for the OP179/OP279’s input stage. It is comprised of two PNP  
differential pairs, Q5-Q6 and Q7-Q8, operating in parallel, with  
diode protection networks. Diode networks D5-D6 and D7-D8  
serve to clamp the applied differential input voltage to the  
OP179/OP279, thereby protecting the input transistors against  
avalanche damage. The fundamental differences between these  
two PNP gain stages are that the Q7-Q8 pair are normally OFF  
and that their inputs are buffered from the operational amplifier  
inputs by Q1-D1-D2 and Q9-D3-D4. Operation is best under-  
stood as a function of the applied common-mode voltage:  
When the inputs of the OP179/OP279 are biased midway be-  
tween the supplies, the differential signal path gain is controlled  
by the resistively loaded (via R7, R8) Q5-Q6. As the input  
common-mode level is reduced toward the negative supply  
(VNEG or GND), the input transistor current sources, I1 and I3,  
are forced into saturation, thereby forcing the Q1-D1-D2 and  
Q9-D3-D4 networks into cutoff; however, Q5-Q6 remain  
active, providing input stage gain. On the other hand, when the  
common-mode input voltage is increased toward the positive  
supply, Q5-Q6 are driven into cutoff, Q3 is driven into satura-  
tion, and Q4 becomes active, providing bias to the Q7-Q8 dif-  
ferential pair. The point at which the Q7-Q8 differential pair  
becomes active is approximately equal to (VPOS – 1 V).

Figure 22. OP179/OP279 Equivalent Input Circuit  
The key issue here is the behavior of the input bias currents in  
this stage. The input bias currents of the OP179/OP279 over  
the range of common-mode voltages from (VNEG + 1 V) to  
(VPOS – 1 V) are the arithmetic sum of the base currents in Q1-  
Q5 and Q9-Q6. Outside of this range, the input bias currents  
are dominated by the base current sum of Q5-Q6 for input  
signals close to VNEG, and of Q1-Q5 (Q9-Q6) for input signals  
close to VPOS. As a result of this design approach, the input bias  
currents in the OP179/OP279 not only exhibit different ampli-  
tudes, but also exhibit different polarities. This input bias cur-  
rent behavior is best illustrated in Figure 3. It is, therefore, of  
paramount importance that the effective source impedances  
connected to the OP179/OP279’s inputs are balanced for opti-  
mum dc and ac performance.

OP179/OP279  
In order to achieve rail-to-rail output behavior, the OP179/OP279  
design employs a complementary common-emitter (or gmRL)  
output stage (Q15-Q16), as illustrated in Figure 23. These  
amplifiers provide output current until they are forced into  
saturation which occurs at approximately 50 mV from either  
supply rail. Thus, their saturation voltage is the limit on the  
maximum output voltage swing in the OP179/OP279. The  
output stage also exhibits voltage gain, by virtue of the use of  
common-emitter amplifiers; and, as a result, the voltage gain of  
the output stage (thus, the open-loop gain of the device) exhib-  
its a strong dependence to the total load resistance at the output  
of the OP179/OP279 as illustrated in Figure 7.  
ensure optimum dc and ac performance, it is important to bal-  
ance source impedance levels. For more information on general  
overvoltage characteristics of amplifiers refer to the 1993 Seminar

Some operational amplifiers designed for single supply opera-  
tion exhibit an output voltage phase reversal when their inputs  
are driven beyond their useful common-mode range. Typically  
for single-supply bipolar op amps, the negative supply deter-  
mines the lower limit of their common-mode range. With these  
devices, external clamping diodes, with the anode connected to  
ground and the cathode to the inputs, input signal excursions  
are prevented from exceeding the device’s negative supply (i.e.,  
GND), preventing a condition that could cause the output  
voltage to change phase. JFET input amplifiers may also  
exhibit phase reversal and, if so, a series input resistor is usually  
required to prevent it.

Figure 23. OP179/OP279 Equivalent Output Circuit  
Input Overvoltage Protection  
As with any semiconductor device, whenever the condition  
exists for the input to exceed either supply voltage, the device’s  
input overvoltage characteristic must be considered. When an  
overvoltage occurs, the amplifier could be damaged, depending  
on the magnitude of the applied voltage and the magnitude of  
the fault current. Figure 24 illustrates the input overvoltage  
characteristic of the OP179/OP279. This graph was generated  
with the power supplies at ground and a curve tracer connected  
to the input. As can be seen, when the input voltage exceeds  
either supply by more than 0.6 V, internal pn-junctions ener-  
gize, which allows current to flow from the input to the supplies.  
As illustrated in the simplified equivalent input circuit (Figure  
22), the OP179/OP279 does not have any internal current limit-  
ing resistors, so fault currents can quickly rise to damaging  
levels.  
The OP179/OP279 is free from reasonable input voltage range  
restrictions provided that input voltages no greater than the  
supply voltages are applied. Although the device’s output will  
not change phase, large currents can flow through the input  
protection diodes, shown in Figure 22. Therefore, the tech-  
nique recommended in the Input Overvoltage Protection sec-  
tion should be applied in those applications where the  
likelihood of input voltages exceeding the supply voltages is  
possible.  
Capacitive Load Drive  
The OP179/OP279 has excellent capacitive load driving capa-  
bilities. It can drive up to 10 nF directly as the performance  
graph titled Small Signal Overshoot vs. Load Capacitance (Fig-  
ure 18) shows. However, even though the device is stable, a  
capacitive load does not come without a penalty in bandwidth.  
As shown in Figure 25, the bandwidth is reduced to under 1 MHz  
for loads greater than 3 nF. A “snubber” network on the out-  
put won’t increase the bandwidth, but it does significantly re-  
duce the amount of overshoot for a given capacitive load. A  
snubber consists of a series R-C network (RS, CS), as shown in  
Figure 26, connected from the output of the device to ground.  
This network operates in parallel with the load capacitor, CL, to  
provide phase lag compensation. The actual value of the resis-  
tor and capacitor is best determined empirically.  
This input current is not inherently damaging to the device as  
long as it is limited to 5 mA or less. For the OP179/OP279,  
once the input voltage exceeds the supply by more than 0.6 V,  
the input current quickly exceeds 5 mA. If this condition con-  
tinues to exist, an external series resistor should be added. The  
size of the resistor is calculated by dividing the maximum over-  
voltage by 5 mA. For example, if the input voltage could reach  
100 V, the external resistor should be (100 V/5 mA) = 20 k.  
This resistance should be placed in series with either or both  
inputs if they are exposed to an overvoltage. Again, in order to

Overload Recovery Time  
Overload, or overdrive, recovery time of an operational amplifier  
is the time required for the output voltage to recover to its linear  
region from a saturated condition. This recovery time is impor-  
tant in applications where the amplifier must recover after a  
large transient event. The circuit in Figure 28 was used to  
evaluate the OP179/OP279’s overload recovery time. The  
OP179/OP279 takes approximately 1 µs to recover from positive  
saturation and approximately 1.2 µs to recover from negative  
saturation.

The first step is to determine the value of the resistor, RS. A  
good starting value is 100 (typically, the optimum value will  
be less than 100 ). This value is reduced until the small-signal  
transient response is optimized. Next, CS is determined—10 µF  
is a good starting point. This value is reduced to the smallest  
value for acceptable performance (typically, 1 µF). For the case  
of a 10 nF load capacitor on the OP179/OP279, the optimal  
snubber network is a 20 in series with 1 µF. The benefit is  
immediately apparent as seen in the scope photo in Figure 27.  
The top trace was taken with a 10 nF load and the bottom trace  
with the 20 , 1 µF snubber network in place. The amount of  
overshot and ringing is dramatically reduced. Table I illustrates  
a few sample snubber networks for large load capacitors.  
Output Transient Current Recovery  
In many applications, operational amplifiers are used to provide  
moderate levels of output current to drive the inputs of ADCs,  
small motors, transmission lines and current sources. It is in  
these applications that operational amplifiers must recover  
quickly to step changes in the load current while maintaining  
steady-state load current levels. Because of its high output  
current capability and low closed-loop output impedance, the  
OP179/OP279 is an excellent choice for these types of applica-  
tions. For example, when sourcing or sinking a 25 mA steady-  
state load current, the OP179/OP279 exhibits a recovery time of  
less than 500 ns to 0.1% for a 10 mA (i.e., 25 mA to 35 mA and  
35 mA to 25 mA) step change in load current.  
A Precision Negative Voltage Reference  
10nF LOAD  
100  
In many data acquisition applications, the need for a precision  
negative reference is required. In general, any positive voltage  
reference can be converted into a negative voltage reference  
through the use of an operational amplifier and a pair of matched  
resistors in an inverting configuration. The disadvantage to that  
approach is that the largest single source of error in the circuit is  
the relative matching of the resistors used.

The circuit illustrated in Figure 29 avoids the need for tightly  
matched resistors with the use of an active integrator circuit. In  
this circuit, the output of the voltage reference provides the  
input drive for the integrator. The integrator, to maintain cir-  
cuit equilibrium, adjusts its output to establish the proper rela-  
tionship between the reference’s VOUT and GND. Thus, various  
negative output voltages can be chosen simply by substituting  
for the appropriate reference IC (see table). To speed up the

ON-OFF settling time of the circuit, R2 can be reduced to  
50 kor less. Although the integrator’s time constant chosen  
here is 1 ms, room exists to trade-off circuit bandwidth and  
noise by increasing R3 and decreasing C2. The SHUTDOWN  
feature is maintained in the circuit with the simple addition of a  
PNP transistor and a 10 kresistor. One caveat with this ap-  
proach should be mentioned: although rail-to-rail output ampli-  
fiers work best in the application, these operational amplifiers  
require a finite amount (mV) of headroom when required to  
provide any load current. The choice for the circuit’s negative  
supply should take this issue into account.  
The low dropout performance of this circuit is provided by stage  
U2, one-half of an OP179/OP279 connected as a follower/buffer  
for the basic reference voltage produced by U1. The low voltage  
saturation characteristic of the OP179/OP279 allows up to 30 mA  
of load current in the illustrated use, as a 5 V to 3.3 V converter  
with high dc accuracy. In fact, the dc output voltage change for  
a 30 mA load current delta measures less than 1 mV. This  
corresponds to an equivalent output impedance of < 0.03 . In  
this application, the stable 3.3 V from U1 is applied to U2  
through a noise filter, R1-C1. U2 replicates the U1 voltage  
within a few mV, but at a higher current output at VOUT1, with  
the ability to both sink and source output current(s)—unlike  
most IC references. R2 and C2 in the feedback path of U2  
provide bias compensation for lowest dc error and additional  
noise filtering.

Transient performance of the reference/regulator for a 10 mA  
step change in load current is also quite good and is determined  
largely by the R5-C5 output network. With values as shown, the  
transient is about 10 mV peak and settles to within 2 mV in  
8 µs, for either polarity. Although room exists for optimizing the  
transient response, any changes to the R5-C5 network should be  
verified by experiment to preclude the possibility of excessive  
ringing with some capacitor types.

A High Output Current, Buffered Reference/Regulator  
Many applications require stable voltage outputs relatively close  
in potential to an unregulated input source. This “low dropout”  
type of reference/regulator is readily implemented with a rail-to-  
rail output op amp, and is particularly useful when using a  
higher current device such as the OP179/OP279. A typical  
example is the 3.3 V or 4.5 V reference voltage developed from  
a 5 V system source. Generating these voltages requires a three-  
terminal reference, such as the REF196 (3.3 V) or the REF194  
(4.5 V), both of which feature low power, with sourcing outputs  
of 30 mA or less. Figure 30 shows how such a reference can be  
outfitted with an OP179/OP279 buffer for higher currents and/  
or voltage levels, plus sink and source load capability.  
VOUT 1 = VOUT 2 × 1+  
As an example, for a VOUT1 = 4.5 V, and VOUT2 = 2.5 V from a  
REF192, the gain required of U2 is 1.8 times, so R2 and R3  
would be chosen for a ratio of 0.8:1, or 18 k:22.5 k. Note  
that for the lowest VOUT1 dc error, the parallel combination of  
R2 and R3 should be maintained equal to R1 (as here), and the  
R2-R3 resistors should be stable, close tolerance metal film  
types.  
The circuit can be used as shown as either a 5 V to 3.3 V refer-  
ence/regulator, or it can be used with ON/OFF control. By  
driving Pin 3 of U1 with a logic control signal as noted, the  
output is switched ON/OFF. Note that when ON/OFF control  
is used, resistor R4 should be used with U1 to speed ON-OFF  
switching.

Direct Access Arrangement for Telephone Line Interface  
Figure 31 illustrates a +5 V only transmit/receive telephone line  
interface for 110 transmission systems. It allows full duplex  
transmission of signals on a transformer coupled 110 line in a  
differential manner. Amplifier A1 provides gain that can be  
adjusted to meet the modem output drive requirements. Both  
A1 and A2 are configured to apply the largest possible signal on a  
single supply to the transformer. Because of the OP179/  
OP279’s high output current drive and low dropout voltage, the  
largest signal available on a single +5 V supply is approximately  
4.5 V p-p into a 110 transmission system. Amplifier A3 is  
configured as a difference amplifier to extract the receive signal  
from the transmission line for amplification by A4. A4’s gain  
can be adjusted in the same manner as A1’s to meet the modem’s  
input signal requirements. Standard resistor values permit the  
use of SIP (Single In-line Package) format resistor arrays. Couple  
this with the OP179/OP279’s 8-lead SOIC footprint and this  
circuit offers a compact, cost-sensitive solution.

A Single Supply, Balanced Line Driver  
+5V DC  
The circuit in Figure 33 is a unique line driver circuit topology  
used in professional audio applications and has been modified  
for automotive audio applications. On a single +12 V supply,  
the line driver exhibits less than 0.02% distortion into a 600 Ω  
load across the entire audio band (not shown). For loads greater  
than 600 , distortion performance improves to where the cir-  
cuit exhibits less than 0.002%. The design is a transformerless,  
balanced transmission system where output common-mode  
rejection of noise is of paramount importance. Like the trans-  
former-based system, either output can be shorted to ground for  
unbalanced line driver applications without changing the circuit  
gain of 1. Other circuit gains can be set according to the equa-  
tion in the diagram. This allows the design to be easily config-  
ured for noninverting, inverting, or differential operation.

OP279 can be used in a +12 V single supply, 350 strain gage  
signal conditioning circuit. In this circuit, the OP179/OP279  
serves two functions: (1) By servoing the output of the REF43’s  
+2.5 V output across R1, it provides a 20 mA drive to the 350 Ω  
strain gage. In this way, small changes in the strain gage pro-  
duce large differential output voltages across the AMP04’s in-  
puts. (2) To maximize the circuit’s dynamic range, the other  
half of the OP179/OP279 is configured as a supply-splitter  
connected to the AMP04’s REF terminal. Thus, tension or  
compression in the application can be measured by the circuit.

A Single Supply Headphone Amplifier  
UNITY-GAIN, SALLEN-KEY (VCVS) FILTERS  
Because of its high speed and large output drive, the OP179/  
OP279 makes for an excellent headphone driver, as illustrated  
in Figure 34. Its low supply operation and rail-to-rail inputs  
and outputs give a maximum signal swing on a single +5 V  
supply. To ensure maximum signal swing available to drive the  
headphone, the amplifier inputs are biased to V+/2, which is in  
this case 2.5 V. The 100 kresistor to the positive supply is  
equally split into two 50 kwith their common point bypassed  
by 10 µF to prevent power supply noise from contaminating the  
audio signal.  
High Pass Configurations  
In Figure 35a is the HP form of a unity-gain 2-pole SK filter  
using an OP179/OP279 section. For this filter and its LP coun-  
terpart, the gain in the passband is inherently unity, and the  
signal phase is noninverting due to the follower hookup. For  
simplicity and practicality, capacitors C1-C2are set equal, and  
resistors R2-R1 are adjusted to a ratio “N,” which provides the  
filter damping “α ” as per the design expressions. A HP design  
is begun with selection of standard capacitor values for C1 and  
C2 and a calculation of N; then R1 and R2 are calculated as per  
the figure expressions.  
+V + 5V  
In these examples, α (or 1/Q) is set equal to 2, providing a  
Butterworth (maximally flat) response characteristic. The filter  
corner frequency is normalized to 1 kHz, with resistor values  
shown in both rounded and (exact) form. Various other 2-pole  
response shapes are also possible with appropriate selection of  
α. For a given response type (α), frequency can be easily scaled,  
using proportional R or C values.

The audio signal is then ac-coupled to each input through a  
10 µF capacitor. A large value is needed to ensure that the  
20 Hz audio information is not blocked. If the input already has  
the proper dc bias, the ac coupling and biasing resistors are not  
required. A 220 µF capacitor is used at the output to couple the  
amplifier to the headphone. This value is much larger than that  
used for the input because of the low impedance of the head-  
phones, which can range from 32 to 600 . An additional  
16 resistor is used in series with the output capacitor to pro-  
tect the op amp’s output stage by limiting capacitor discharge  
current. When driving a 48 load, the circuit exhibits less than  
0.02% THD+N at low output drive levels (not shown). The  
OP179/OP279’s high current output stage can drive this heavy  
load to 4 V p-p and maintain less than 1% THD+N.

Active Filters  
Figure 35. 2-Pole Unity-Gain Sallen Key HP/LP Filters  
Several active filter topologies are useful with the OP179/OP279.  
Among these are two popular architectures, the familiar Sallen-  
Key (SK) voltage controlled voltage source (VCVS) and the  
multiple feedback (MFB) topologies. These filter types can be  
arranged for high pass (HP), low pass (LP), and bandpass (BP)  
filters. The SK filter type uses the op amp as a fixed gain voltage  
follower at unity or a higher gain, while the MFB structure uses  
it as an inverting stage. Discussed here are simplified, 2-pole  
forms of these filters, highly useful as system building blocks.  
Low Pass Configurations  
In the LP SK arrangement of Figure 35b, R and C elements are  
interchanged, and the resistors are made equal. Here the C2/C1  
ratio “M” is used to set the filter α, as noted. This design is begun  
with the choice of a standard capacitor value for C1 and a calcu-  
lation of M, which forces a value of “M × C1” for C2. Then, the  
value “R” for R1 and R2 is calculated as per the expression.  
For highest performance, the passive components used for tun-  
ing active filters deserve attention. Resistors should be 1%, low  
TC, metal film types of the RN55 or RN60 style, or similar.

reactive, and limits overall practicality of this filter. The dire  
effect of C1 loading can be tempered somewhat by using a small  
series input resistance of about 100 , but can still be an issue.  
Capacitors should be 1% or 2% film types preferably, such as  
polypropylene or polystyrene, or NPO (COG) ceramic for  
smaller values. Somewhat lesser performance is available with  
the use polyester capacitors.

Parasitic Effects in Sallen-Key Implementations  
IN  
OUT  
In designing these circuits, moderately low (10 kor less) val-  
ues for R1-R2 can be used to minimize the effects of Johnson  
noise when critical, with of course practical tradeoffs of capaci-  
tor size and expense. DC errors will result for larger values of  
resistance, unless bias current compensation is used. To add  
bias compensation in the HP filter of Figure 35a, a feedback  
compensation resistor with a value equal to R2 is used, shown  
optionally as Zf. This will minimize bias induced offset, reduc-  
ing it to the product of the OP179/OP279’s IOS and R2. Similar  
compensation is applied to the LP filter, using a Zf resistance of  
R1 + R2. Using dc compensation and relatively low filter val-  
ues, filter output dc errors using the OP179/OP279 will be  
dominated by VOS, which is limited to 4 mV or less. A caveat  
here is that the additional resistors increase noise substantially—  
for example, an unbypassed 10 kresistor generates 12 nV/  
Hz of noise. However, the resistance can be ac-bypassed to  
eliminate noise with a simple shunt capacitor, such as 0.1 µF.

Figure 36. Two-Pole, High Pass Multiple Feedback Filters  
In this example, the filter gain is set to unity, the corner fre-  
quency is 1 kHz, and the response is a Butterworth type. For  
applications where dc output offset is critical, bias current com-  
pensation can be used for the amplifier. This is provided by  
network Zb, where R is equal to R2, and the capacitor provides  
a noise bypass.  
Sallen-Key Implementations in Single Supply Applications  
The hookups shown illustrate a classical dual supply op amp  
application, which for the OP179/OP279 would use supplies up  
to ±5 V. However, these filters can also use the op amp in a  
single-supply mode, with little if any alteration to the filter itself.  
To operate single-supply, the OP179/OP279 is powered from  
+5 V at Pin 8 with Pin 4 grounded. The input dc bias for the  
op amp must be supplied from a dc source equal to 1/2 supply,  
or 2.5 V in this case.  
Low Pass Configurations  
Figure 37 is a LP MFB 2-pole filter using an OP179/OP279  
section. For this filter, the gain in the pass band is user config-  
urable over a wide range, and the pass band signal phase is  
inverting. Given the design parameters for α , F, and H, a sim-  
plified design process is begun by picking a standard value for  
C2. Then C1 and resistors R1-R3 are selected as per the rela-  
tionships noted. Optional dc bias current compensation is pro-  
vided by Zb, where R is equal to the value of R3 plus the parallel  
equivalent value of R1 and R2.  
For the HP section, dc bias is applied to the common end of R2.  
R2 is simply returned to an ac ground that is a well-bypassed  
2:1 divider across the 5 V source. This can be as simple as a  
pair of 100 kresistors with a 10 µF bypass cap. The output  
from the stage is then ac coupled, using an appropriate coupling  
cap from U1A to the next stage. For the LP section dc bias is  
applied to the input end of R1, in common with the input sig-  
nal. This dc can be taken from an unbypassed dual 100 kΩ  
divider across the supply, with the input signal ac coupled to the  
divider and R1.

MFB filters, like their SK relatives, can be used as building  
blocks as well. They feature LP and HP operation as well, but  
can also be used in a bandpass BP mode. They have the prop-  
erty of inverting operation in the pass band, since they are based  
on an inverting amplifier structure. Another useful asset is their  
ability to be easily configured for gain.

High Pass Configurations  
Figure 37. Two-Pole, Low-Pass Multiple Feedback Filters  
Figure 36 shows an HP MFB 2-pole filter using an OP179/  
OP279 section. For this filter, the gain in the passband is user  
configurable, and the signal phase is inverting. The circuit uses  
one more tuning component than the SK types. For simplicity,  
capacitors C1 and C3 are set to equal standard values, and  
resistors R1-R2 are selected as per the relationships noted. Gain  
of this filter, H, is set by capacitors C1 and C2, and this factor  
limits both gain selectability and precision. Also, input capaci-  
tance C1 makes the load seen by the driving stage highly  
Gain of this filter, H, is set here by resistors R2 and R1 (as in a  
standard op amp inverter), and can be just as precise as these  
resistors allow at low frequencies. Because of this flexible and  
accurate gain characteristic, plus a low range of component  
value spread, this filter is perhaps the most practical of all the  
MFB types. Capacitor ratios are best satisfied by paralleling  
two or more common types, as in the example, which is a 1 kHz  
unity gain Butterworth filter.

excess of 2Q2 at the filter center frequency.

Figure 38. Two-Pole, Bandpass Multiple Feedback Filters  
Figure 39. Two-Way Active Crossover Networks  
Given the bandpass design parameters for Q, F, and pass band  
gain AO, the design process is begun by picking a standard value  
for C1. Then C2 and resistors R1-R3 are selected as per the  
relationships noted. This filter is subject to a wide range of  
component values by nature. Practical designs should attempt  
to restrict resistances to a 1 kto 1 Mrange, with capacitor  
values of 1 µF or less. When needed, dc bias current compensa-  
tion is provided by Zb, where R is equal to R3.  
In the filter sections, component values have been selected for  
good balance between reasonable physical/electrical size, and  
lowest noise and distortion. DC offset errors can be minimized  
by using dc compensation in the feedback and bias paths, ac  
bypassed with capacitors for low noise. Also, since the network  
input is reactive, it should driven from a directly coupled low  
impedance source at VIN.  
Two-Way Loudspeaker Crossover Networks  
Figure 40 shows this filter architecture adapted for single supply  
operation from a 5 V dc source, along the lines discussed  
previously.  
Active filters are useful in loudspeaker crossover networks for  
reasons of small size, relative freedom from parasitic effects, and  
the ease of controlling low/high channel drive, plus the con-  
trolled driver damping provided by a dedicated amplifier. Both  
Sallen-Key (SK) VCVS and multiple-feedback (MFB) filter  
architectures are useful in implementing active crossover net-  
works (see Reference 4), and the circuit shown in Figure 39 is  
a two-way active crossover which combines the advantages of  
both filter topologies. This active crossover exhibits less than  
0.01% THD+N at output levels of 1 V rms using general pur-  
pose unity gain HP/LP stages. In this two-way example, the LO  
signal is a dc-500 Hz LP woofer output, and the HI signal is the  
HP (> 500 Hz) tweeter output. U1B forms a MFB LP section  
at 500 Hz, while U1A provides a SK HP section, covering fre-  
quencies 500 Hz.

This crossover network is a Linkwitz-Riley type (see Reference  
5), with a damping factor or α of 2 (also referred to as  
“Butterworth squared”). A hallmark of the Linkwitz-Riley type  
of filter is the fact that the summed magnitude response is flat  
across the pass band. A necessary condition for this to happen  
is the relative signal polarity of the HI output must be inverted  
with respect to the LOW outputs. If only SK filter sections  
were used, this requires that the connections to one speaker be  
reversed on installation. Alternately, with one inverting stage  
used in the LO channel, this accomplishes the same effect. In  
the circuit as shown, stage U1B is the MFB LP filter which  
provides the necessary polarity inversion. Like the SK sections,  
it is configured for unity gain and an α of 2. The cutoff frequency  
is 500 Hz, which complements the SK HP section of U4.

The crossover example frequency of 500 Hz can be shifted  
lower or higher by frequency scaling of either resistors or capaci-  
tors. In configuring the circuit for other frequencies, comple-  
mentary LP/HP action must be maintained between sections,  
and component values within the sections must be in the same  
ratio. Table II provides a design aid to adaptation, with sug-  
gested standard component values for other frequencies.
