Q. [10] Consider the 1st order active LPF shown here. Redraw the circuit,
replacing resistors with switched capacitors. Calculate the values of capacitors
if the DC gain must be kept at 2.

Solution:
𝜔0 1 𝑅
𝐻(𝑠) = 𝐾 where 𝜔0 = and 𝐾 = −
𝑠+𝜔0 √𝑅𝐶 𝑅𝑖

Replacing resisters with switched capacitors, the gain can be expressed as

𝑅 1⁄𝑓𝑐𝑙𝑘 𝐶𝐹 𝐶𝑖
𝐾=− =− =− = −2
𝑅𝑖 1⁄𝑓𝑐𝑙𝑘 𝐶𝑖 𝐶𝐹

Hence the absolute value of capacitors is not important, rather their ratio is important.
