Ex No 5 ACTIVE LOW PASS AND HIGH PASS FILTER
Date: 24.07.2021
AIM:
To construct a second order low pass and high pass active filter using Op-amp LM741
as per the designand obtain the frequency response of the filters using Multisim online
simulator.
SOFTWARE REQUIRED:
Filters using transistors, op-amps along withthe passive elements are active filters.
1. Low Pass Filter (LPF): A low pass filter allows low frequency signals to passfrom input
to output while it attenuates HF signals from the input.The cut off frequency f o of the filter
denotes the frequency where the filter changes its function. For a LPF it passes all
frequencies below that frequency and rejects all frequencies above that. A LPF has only
upper cut-off frequency denoted by fH.The graph of magnitude of transfer function
(output/input) against frequency is called Frequency response of a filter
2. High Pass Filter (HPF): A high pass filter allows high frequency signals to pass from
input to output while it attenuates LF signals below the cut off frequency from the input.
The cut off frequency fo of the filter denotes the frequency where the filter changes its
function.For a HPF it passes all frequencies above that frequency and rejects all frequencies
below that.A HPF has only lower cut-off frequency denoted by f L.The graph of magnitude of
transfer function (output/input) against frequency is called Frequency response of a filter

Circuit Diagram
1: II order LPF
The design steps for Second Order Low Pass Butterworth Filter are
1) Choose the cut-off frequency fH,
2) The design can be simplified by selecting R 2 = R3 = R and C2 = C3 = C. Choose a value of C
less than or equal to 1 μF.
3) Calculate the value of R from the equation,
The design steps for Second Order High Pass Butterworth Filter are
1) Choose the cut-off frequency fL,
2) The design can be simplified by selecting R 2 = R3 = R and C2 = C3 = C. Choose a value of C
less than or equal to 1 μF.
3) Calculate the value of R from the equation,
Rf = 1.7k ohms
Rf = 0.586 * R1
Let R1 = 6 k ohms
SIMULATED CIRCUITS:
1. LOW PASS FILTER:
INFERENCE:
Gain of the LP filter rolls faster after the cut-off frequency in the stop band. In case of II
order filter the roll off is 40dB/decade. Cut-off frequency is decided by R & C and gain is
decided by R1 and Rf. Interchanging the positions of R and C in LPF result in HPF. In case of II
order LP filter the roll off is -40dB/decade and for HPF it is +40dB/decade.
RESULT:
Thus the second order low pass and high pass active filters are constructed using Op-amp
LM741 as per the design and the frequency response of the filters is obtained using
Multisim online simulator.
