What is the name for this filter circuit design?

[xcpointx]

I was just wondering if there is a 'technical' or 'proper' name for the design of these 2 filter circuits...



I want to change the component values of the upper one, to match that of the lower one... (so that both are the same!)

[xcpointx]

ok i may have answered my own question... but from info ive found on the net it looks like a form of
'cascaded Unity gain High/Low Pass Filter' or Sallen Key??

but it isnt cascaded. so what would the correct term be?

[Rich G.]

Bandpass Filter. ?

[Tim Escobedo]

I'm guessing "cascaded Sallen Key" may be correct. Since it's basically two second order bootstrapped filters in series.

The values and frequencies are far enough apart they don't interact very much.

What's it out of? :?:

To me, it' a multiple-feedback 2nd-order bandpass filter combined with a sallen-key 2nd-order active low pass filter.

That must be to go even lower than with the bandpass alone.

Funny thing, late last night, I was looking about what kind of configuration was used in a cab sim schematic I have, and read some info about your kind of filters.

The configuration I was searching for was, I suppose, a double sallen-key 2nd-order active low pass filter.

So the circuit looks like yours, but with another salen-key in place of the bandpass filter.

So after reading that again, the circuit I was looking for (a double sallen-key) was a sallen-key 4th-order active low pass filter   :shock: :roll:  :?:  :?:

Awesome! Thanks for all your responses

Is there a formula to work out component values according to desired cut off frequencies?

Gilles,
nice links!
good nfo!
thanx!
