3. Problem description:
Simulation of the following active 1st order filters using SPICE
1. LPF with fL (3dB) =1.59KHz
2. HPF with fH (3dB) =1.59KHz
3. BPF with fL (3dB) =1.59KHz and fH (3dB) =80KHz
4. BRF (Notch Filter) with fL (3dB) =1.59KHz and fH (3dB) =50KHz
4. Methodology: The above filters have been simulated using LTspiceXVII® as the
simulation software tool. OPAMP TL062® has been used for simulating the filters. All the
simulations have been done using non ideal components. The opamp TL062 is not
available in the LTSPICE library. Hence the spice model had to be downloaded, and a
symbol created for the same in LTSPICE.
All the filter design simulations have the following illustrated
• Filter Transfer function (Magnitude)
• Time domain responses
o Pass band
o Rejection band
• Filter transfer function with a component varied to get an optimum response
• The 3dB BW marked using the 2 available cursors in LTSPICE.
Conclusions: The following points can be observed in all the filter simulations
1. The response of the filters is within 1% of the expected results.
2. In a first order filter the tuning of the filter to the exact desired response with real
commercially available components exhibit variations due to the tolerances of the
components chosen.
