Fast-settling low-pass filter circuit

CIRCUIT060051

Overview

This low-pass filter topology offers a significant improvement in settling time over the conventional single pole RC filter. This is achieved through the use of diodes D1 and D2, that allow the filter capacitor to charge and discharge much faster when there is a large enough difference between the input and output voltages.
Features
  • Input: Vi = -12 V to 12 V
  • Output: Vo = -12 V to 12 V
  • Supply:
    • Vcc = 15 V
    • Vee = -15 V
  • Cutoff frequency: 10 kHz
  • Diode threshold voltage: 20 mV
