Leapfrog Filters • By continuing the concepts of operational simulation, higher order filters can be built • Each inductor requires an inverting integrator (1 op-amp), each capacitor requires a non-inverting integrator (2 op-amps) • Op-amps required = 3N/2 • Complex circuits can be simulated using similar principles • Scale factors for all variables can be adjusted arbitrarily • By doing this, the output voltage range for each op-amp can be adjusted to maximise the dynamic range of the filter
Comparison of Active Filter Designs • Synthesis by Sections • Low op-amp count – N/2 • Noise/output voltage range trade off • Sallen & Key sensitivity • Component Simulation • Robust despite component tolerances • Higher op-amp count – N • Easier to realise transmission zeros • Dynamic range limitation • Operational Synthesis • Robust again • Even higher op-amp count – 3N/2 • Op-amp output ranges can be individually optimised.
