8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The OPAx377-Q1 family of operational amplifiers is built on a precision analog CMOS technology featuring low noise and low offset voltage. The OPAx377-Q1 family delivers excellent offset voltage (250 μV, typical). Additionally, the amplifier boasts a fast slew rate, low drift, low noise, and excellent PSRR and AOL. These 5.5-MHz CMOS op amps operate on 760 μA (typical) quiescent current.
8.2 Typical Application
Low-pass filters are commonly employed in signal processing applications to reduce noise and prevent aliasing. The OPA377-Q1 is ideally suited to construct high-speed, high-precision active filters. Figure 25 shows a second-order, low-pass filter commonly encountered in signal processing applications.

8.2.1 Design Requirements
Use the following parameters for this design example:
- Gain = 5 V/V (inverting gain)
- Low-pass cutoff frequency = 25 kHz
- Second-order Chebyshev filter response with 3-dB gain peaking in the passband
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The infinite-gain multiple-feedback circuit for a low-pass network function is shown in Figure 25. Use Equation 1 to calculate the voltage transfer function.
This circuit produces a signal inversion. For this circuit, the gain at dc and the low-pass cutoff frequency are calculated by Equation 2:
