Here we show two, a standard notch filter circuit, and another for a twin T notch filter circuit, A notch filter is used to remove a particular frequency, having a notch where signals are rejected. Often they are fixed frequency, but some are able to tune the notch frequency. Having a fixed frequency, this operational amplifier, op amp, notch filter circuit may find applications such as removing fixed frequency interference like mains hum, from audio circuits. Notch filter response The ideal response for any notch filter would be a completely flat response over the usable range with the exception of the notch frequency. Here it would fall very fast providing a high level of attenuation that is able to remove the unwanted signal. Response Frequency requ Frequency ‘attenuation Notch filter response In reality, perfection is not achievable, but when using an operational amplifier circuit, high levels of attenuation and narrow notches can be achieved. Op amp notch filter circuit The diagram below shows a notch filter circuit using a single op amp. The notch filter circuit is quite straightforward and the calculations for the component values are also easy. htpihwww:rado-clecvorics.comnftircuts/opamo_ noch fitelopamp_nctch fer php1182016 (Op AmpNoteh Fite | Operatonal Amplifier Circuit | Raso-Elecroris. Com Op amp notch filter circuit The notch filter circuit is quite straightforward to design. It employs both negative and positive feedback around the operational amplifier chip and in this way it is able to provide a high degree of performance. Calculation of the value for the circuit is very straightforward. The formula to calculate the resistor and capacitor values for the notch filter circuit is: 1 frotch = 27RC R = R3 =R4 Cc =Ci =C2 Where: fnotch = centre frequency of the notch in Hertz n=3.142 Rand Care the values of the resistors and capacitors in @ and Farads When building the circuit, high tolerance components must be used to obtain the best performance. Typically they should be 1% or better. A notch depth of 45 dB can be obtained using 1% components, although in theory it is possible for the notch to be of the order of 60 dB using ideal components. R1 and R2 should be matched to within 0.5% or they may be trimmed using parallel resistors. A further item to ensure the optimum operation of the circuit is to ensure that the source impedance is less than about 100 ohms. Additionally the load impedance should be greater than about 2 M Ohms. The circuit is often used to remove unwanted hum from circuits, Values for a SO Hz notch would be: C1, C2 = 47 nF, R1, R2= 10k, RB, R4= 68 k. Op amp twin T notch filter circuit with variable Q htpihwww:rado-clecvorics.comnftircuts/opamo_ noch fitelopamp_nctch fer php‘ia2016 ‘Op Amp Note Fir | Operational Amplifer Circut | Rado-Etcroncs, Com The twin T notch filter with variable Q is a simple circuit that can provide a good level of rejection at the "notch" frequency. It uses two operational amplifiers in the circuit, and the twin "T" section can be seen between the two operational amplifiers The variable Q function for the twin T notch filter is provided by the potentiometer placed on the non- inverting input of the lower operational amplifier in the diagram. Op amp twin T notch filter ‘cuit with variable Q Calculation of the value for the circuit is very straightforward. The formula is the same as that used for the passive version of the twin T notch filter. 4 27RC froter Where: fc = cut off frequency in Hertz m= 3.142 Rand C are the values of the resistors and capacitors as in the circuit, The notch filter circuit can be very useful, and the adjustment facility for the Q can also be very handy. The main drawback of the notch filter circuit is that as the level of Q is increased, the depth of the null reduces. Despite this the notch filter circuit can be successfully incorporated into many circuit applications. Notch filter circuits The two op amp notch filter circuits are very easy to use and provide a good level of performance without being excessively complicated. They are a useful tool in the armoury of the analogue development engineer.
